“It’s bad”. Yaël Braun-Pivet lamented on RTL “what is happening at the moment in the National Assembly.” According to her, “we have been demonstrating for a week, through the fault of some, that we are not capable of bringing a democratic debate up to the expectations of the French”.
In the viewer of the President of the National Assembly? The rebels, but “not all, you don’t have to mix things up,” she says. According to the Yvelines deputy, they launched a “policy of obstruction, personal involvement, parliamentary guerrilla, aggressiveness, invective, sometimes insults.”
“I invite you to pull yourself together, there is still time to debate,” Yaël Braun-Pivet declared in a speech by the parliamentarians of the group chaired by Mathilde Panot.
“Rebellion in all the benches”
The rebels, at the origin of several incidents during the review of the pension reform, are at the center of criticism. On Friday, Deputy Thomas Portes was expelled from the National Assembly for 15 days. In question: a photo published on his Twitter account, where he is seen, dressed in his chosen scarf, stepping on a ball with the image of Olivier Dussopt, Minister of Labor.
This Monday, another LFI deputy, Aurélien Saintoul, sparked a controversy by calling this same member of the government a “murderer”, when he spoke of people killed in a work accident.
“Our Parliament is what the French wanted, it is in the image of France. What I see at the moment is not in the image of France, it is not the society we want to build together,” lamented Yaël Braun-Pivet on RTL.
The Yvelines deputy, however, welcomed the reaction that followed this speech: “a revolt in all the benches”, including those of the communists, environmentalists and socialists. And he continues: “There were very strong words said by some. Shame, humiliation, because we are better than that.”
