After his vote against the 1 euro meal for students, the scallops of a macronista go bad

A seafood meal that does not pass. Renaissance MP Karl Olive shared a video of scallops being returned to a pan on his Twitter account on Sunday.

To the gram dam of elected leftists who consider these images inappropriate, four days after the refusal of the presidential majority to vote for a one-euro meal for all students in university restaurants.

“Born Before Shame”

“€5,841.03 net of parliamentary allowance per month, scallops on Sundays but I could not vote on my bill to give food to one euro for all students. Born before shame,” Fatiha Keloua Hachi, socialist deputy, also tweets by Seine-Saint-Dennis.

The Socialists had presented this Thursday as part of their parliamentary niche a bill aimed at extending one-euro meals at universities to all students, currently reserved for scholarship holders and precarious students. With one objective: to respond to student precariousness, which has increased considerably in recent years.

Less a deputy “than a culinary influencer”

With one vote, it had been rejected by the deputies, particularly those of the presidential majority. What aroused the ire of Louis Boyard, rebel deputy and former leader of the protest of the institutes and pushed Jean-Luc Mélenchon to tax the Renaissance as a “party of contempt”.

“We prefer to help people in a precarious situation and scholarship students,” Karl Olive justified himself on Twitter at the time. In the same line was Aurore Bergé, the president of the Renaissance group, who assumed that she does not “think that the children of the deputies need a meal for one euro.”

The symbolism of the scallops, considered a luxury dish, also displeased the rebel deputy François Piquemal.

“You are a better culinary influencer than an MP concerned about access to food for all,” joked this Haute-Garonne representative-elect.

“They want to eat at the Crous. Let them eat scallops!”

His colleague Sarah Legrain refers to the apocryphal phrase of Marie Antoinette. Upon hearing that starving peasants were marching on Versailles, the queen reportedly told those around her “if you don’t have bread, let them eat brioche.”

“It is said that Karl Olive would have said ‘do you want to eat at the Crous? But let them eat scallops!'”, screams this LFI deputy.

The macronie and the rebels crossed swords this weekend after the publication of the list of the names of the deputies who voted against the one-euro meal for Louis Boyard’s students, public on the website of the National Assembly.
