A reframing for Éric Dupond-Moretti. Elisabeth Borne informed her Justice Minister by phone of her strong discontent after he performed 2 arms of honor at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
“This behavior has no place in the Chamber,” the Matignon tenant told him by phone, according to AFP information, confirmed by BFMTV.
A response to the reminder of his accusation
These weapons of honor took place during discussions at the Palais-Bourbon on a Renaissance group bill for a mandatory disqualification sentence against perpetrators of violence. Olivier Marleix, president of the LR deputies, then recalled several cases involving members of the presidential camp, including the Minister of Justice.
the old lawyer was charged in July 2021 for illegal taking of interest by the magistrates of the Court of Justice of the Republic. They are in charge of investigating possible conflicts of interest with his previous activities as a criminal lawyer, his lawyers said.
To justify these weapons of honor, Éric Dupond-Moretti first evoked “the gesture of a person who reacts to an accusation that he does not consider to be founded and who has been saying so for two years.” Before finally presenting his “apologies” to Olivier Marleix as well as “the national representation”.
Lawmakers demand his resignation
The LR deputy asked Emmanuel Macron on RTL on Wednesday to “draw the consequences” of this matter, by sanctioning the minister for this “scandalous gesture”.
He regretted an “insult to national representation.” “He would have been a deputy from La France insoumise, they would have excluded him, I have no doubt, for 15 days,” he said. Several political figures have called for his resignation, such as Olivier Faure or Marine Le Pen.
Olivier Véran indicated for his part during the press conference at the end of the Council of Ministers that Emmanuel Macron had not mentioned the subject. “Obviously we should not make weapons of honor in the chamber,” however, the spokesperson added. Several ministers flew to the aid of the Keeper of the Seals on Tuesday morning, including Gabriel Attal, who spoke of a “total” personality on BFMTV.
