Marine Le Pen “is trying to make a polemic on a day of historic mobilization,” says Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI group in the National Assembly. In the middle of the Parisian procession, the deputy of Val-de-Marne responds to the accusation of the elected member of the National Rally who accuses, on BFMTV, the Nupes of adopting “childish behavior” by making “obstruction amendments against the pension “. reform project.
In fact, the debates in the National Assembly are progressing slowly, in particular due to the 3000 amendments drafted by La France insoumise, against 75 on the RN side. “The opposition is not measured by the number of amendments, especially when it comes to amendments as grotesque as those presented by France Insoumise,” insisted Marine Le Pen in the figaro.
“I am pessimistic of having the opportunity to speak out against this text, and it will be the Nupes who will bear the responsibility,” he added on Tuesday.
“Marine Le Pen is a facade opposition to Emmanuel Macron,” replied Mathilde Panot during the demonstration that brought together more than 500,000 people, according to the CGT. “She’s not even on the street today with the millions of people marching [partout en France, NDLR]. She is not there, in support of the workers who are on strike.”
“Go away!”
Antoine Léaument, LFI deputy for Essonne, continued the tirade against the RN in committee on Tuesday. The elected official returned to the accusations of hindering directed at his group and replied: “If the RN wanted us to move faster, we simply had to vote for the suppression amendment that we proposed yesterday (…) If you do not want to work on this commission, leave “, said.
Appraised for being only a “front opposition”, the RN defends itself by brandishing its request for a referendum on pensions that must be submitted to the vote of the deputies on February 6. Except that, here too, the issue is debated.
A first “referendum motion” was presented by the Nupes on January 23, followed by the RN the following day, an unprecedented situation in the Chamber. Given the lack of jurisprudence, the Conference of Presidents of the Assembly decided to hold a lottery, which was won by the RN group led by Marine Le Pen.
“Comfort Opposition”
“What has just happened is unprecedented and truly scandalous,” denounced the presidents of the groups of leftist deputies in a joint letter to the president of the Assembly.
“The mere fact that a draw is proposed to decide between the two referendum motions is an arbitrary decision that is not based on any provision,” they argue, citing the “analytical table” of the Assembly’s regulations, which indicates that only one referendum motion can be filed.
The leftist motion, presented before the RN one, should have been the only one retained, believe the four leaders of the group, who are asking the presidency to “cancel the draw.” “They choose a comfortable opposition,” the leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, denounced to the press, who pointed out that Nupes’s motion had a chance of being approved.
The RN motion must be put to the vote first, if all of its signatories are present on February 6. If this were not the case, it would nevertheless be possible to put Nupes’ motion to a vote, again requiring all signatories to be present.
