A sanction from the National Assembly that goes badly in the ranks of La France insoumise. The rebel deputy Thomas Portes was excluded for 15 days from the National Assembly last Friday, after a controversial tweet about Olivier Dusspot.
The day before, this deputy, a former railway worker, had taken a picture of himself going up in a balloon with the image of the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt.
“So serious!”
“My God, I played football. How serious!” Manuel Bompard, LFI number 1, creaked this Tuesday morning on France info.
Thomas Portes received the most severe sanction provided for by the regulations of the National Assembly, similar to that of RN Grégoire de Fournas who had launched “return to Africa” in the chamber last November.
The Gironde elected representative then arrested LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo, who asked the government a question about the fate of the Viking Ocean, a ship carrying dozens of migrants.
“Violence” is for “those who ask to work two more years”
Until now this maximum sanction had only been applied once, in March 2011, against the communist deputy Maxime Gremetz who had insulted the ministers during a hearing.
Facing the office of the National Assembly, Thomas Portes spoke of “repentance”, although he did not apologize. However, he admitted that he “should have taken off his MP scarf for this photo.”
“Extremely concrete violence” is for “those who are asked to work two more years with a broken back,” Manuel Bompard also announced this Tuesday morning, seeking to send Aurore Bergé’s accusations back to the ropes.
Thomas Portes “assumes a violent and hateful political culture,” the president of the Renaissance group estimated on our antenna on Sunday.
Mathilde Panot, the patron saint of the rebel deputies, denounced for her part “a disproportionate sanction”. “Using the image of the powerful in things of folklore is part of the social history of our country,” the elected official still judged.
