For or against bullfighting? Aymeric Caron defends a text on which “we can decide very quickly”

Sent to the front to support your bill. Before the examination of his text on the abolition of bullfighting this Thursday in the National Assembly, the rebel deputy Aymeric Caron appeared on the set of BFMTV-RMC. The prohibition of this practice arouses lively debates, even before it is debated in the Chamber.

For the former journalist, “to completely forget about the issue of the living” would have been “a mistake” while the rebels present various bills for their parliamentary niche, a monthly session in which the agenda is set by parliamentarians, I don’t rule them.

However, the bill on bullfighting raises questions beyond the debate between pros and cons. Emmanuel Macron thus estimated on the sidelines of the hall of the mayors of France, that “it is not the priority of the moment.”

The same goes for Fabien Roussel, interviewed the same day on BFMTV-RMC. The head of the communists advanced other texts from the parliamentary niche of the insubordinates, such as the reinstatement of unvaccinated personnel. This bill occupies the third place on the agenda, after the constitutionalization of abortion and the abolition of bullfights.

“This question can be solved very quickly”

For his part, Aymeric Caron assures that the text on bullfighting “is not the absolute priority” with respect to a parliamentary niche made up of a “dozen (ten now, editor’s note) of bills that wipe out all kinds of issues that worry the French”. . If the theme of “living” is broad, he opted for the theme of bullfighting, because “this issue can be resolved very quickly,” he explains. The Parisian deputy highlights “the short time” of the parliamentary niche, which will take place between 9 and midnight.

According to him, it is therefore a question of “choosing texts with quite simple questions”, where one can easily decide “for or against”.

“Basically, the question that all deputies will have to answer today is: yes or no, are you in favor of the idea that we can, today, organize shows around torture?”, details the deputy from Paris.

On this occasion, the chamber should be the scene of a debate, to say the least, very lively. More than 577 amendments were presented, in particular by Agrupación Nacional and Renacimiento, some of which obstruct parliamentarians and slow down the examination of the text before putting it to a vote. Furthermore, no official instructions have been given within the various groups, which could result in various individual liberties being taken.
