A very harsh view of his political opponents. Although the end of the pension reform debates in the chamber is imminent this Friday night, Éric Ciotti severely criticized La France insoumise.
“We have the impression of being before deputies who are guided by the example of Terror under the Revolution”, launched the number 1 of the LR to the microphone of several journalists, very discreet in the chamber during the debates.
“Excesses and caricatures”
Before denouncing “excesses of the Nupes, caricatures, verbal violence”, thus putting his footsteps in those of the presidential majority. Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior denounced the “bordélization of debates”, while Olivier Dussopt, Minister of Labor denounced the “systematic obstruction” of LFI.
The deputy from the Alpes-Maritimes points out, by his statements, the obstruction strategy of LFI. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s movement submitted 13,000 amendments out of a total of 20,000.
To speed up the debates that are still going on on article 3, far removed from the 20 articles in the bill and especially from article 7 that moves retirement to 64 years, the communists and socialists withdrew most of their amendments. The rebels doubt.
The obstruction, a classic also used by the right
Obstruction, however, is not new in the chamber and the right itself used it during the debates on pensions in 1981, during the PACS in 1998, or even during the examination of the bill on marriage for all in 2013.
Éric Ciotti also seeks to denounce various incidents during the session through his statements. On 9th February, the rebel deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Thomas Portes provoked a controversy by having stepped on a ball with the image of the minister. A snapshot for which he was penalized with a exclusion of 15 days from the Assembly.
A few days later, another rebel, Aurélien Saintoul, called him a “murderer” in front of a stunned chamber. An exit for which she apologized, but which earned her a withdrawal of part of your parliamentary allowance for one month.
For their part, the Republicans were divided in the chamber between Aurélien Pradié and his relatives who called for a “more social reform” with greater consideration for long careers and supporters of reform such as Éric Ciotti or the group’s president Alain Marleix. .
