First steps under high tension for the new deputy from Ariège. Newly elected Sunday night against the advice of her party, socialist Martine Froger, she was insulted by protesters.
The 60-year-old, close to Carole Delga, president of the Occitanie region, was booed by protesters who chanted “Get out of there, get out, you have nothing to do here,” and was doused with water. Enough to arouse the ire of all anti-Nupes socialists. Starting with Bernard Cazeneuve.
“It is urgent to put an end to this spiral of violence of public insult unless we run the risk of organizing the great turn of our country for the worse,” the former prime minister of François Hollande wrote on Twitter.
Violence “unacceptable in the Republic”
The former tenant of Matignon, very opposed to the left-wing union, had come to support her during her campaign against the LFI deputy Bénédicte Taurine. Elected since 2017 and appreciated by her group, the rebel was defeated by the dissident PS this Sunday night. To the chagrin of the LFI, starting with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who judged that “any benevolence would be inappropriate”.
Nicolás Mayer-Rossignol, number 2 of the PS, and in open conflict with Olivier Faure, the first secretary, also sent “his full support” to the parliamentarian, judging the violence “unacceptable in the Republic.”
Discretion of the socialist deputies
The mayor of Rouen is at the fore to allow Martine Froger to join the socialist group in the National Assembly. He has an internal petition to subdue the deputies who are stopping the arrival of his new colleague to their benches.
The mayor of Montpellier anti-Nupes Michaël Delafosse also regretted the course of the demonstration for the socialist. “The intimidation, the ukases, the permanent conflict lead to the liberation of hate”, advanced the mayor of the PS of Montpellier.
The former head of the PS, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, the local elected representatives Stéphane Le Foll and Lamia El Aaraje or even Senator David Assouline also gave their support to Martine Froger. No socialist deputy has yet reacted.
