“Silence for France!” Although RN, as announced, voted in favor of the bill on measures to increase purchasing power, it was Jean-Philippe Tanguy who took his place on the podium to explain the reasons for his vote. After eight hours of debate, this speech by the Somme deputy charged lyrical flights between boos and calls to order.
He delivered a speech hitting the high notes, alternating serious explanations, tributes, and mockery. Until crying with laughter inside her camp.
screams and laughs
“The French got some money, even if it’s not all the money we would have wanted,” said the RN deputy in the explanatory memorandum explaining RN’s support for the majority project.
“Marine Le Pen was the first in this chamber to raise the question of purchasing power,” he greeted, making a gesture of homage to his colleague, like a director, to the applause of his colleagues who rose for the occasion.
Soon, hindered in his speech by the Nupe deputies who reacted to this complacency of the party, he suddenly shouted: “Silence!”. Raised by the president of the session, he shouted with clenched fists:
“Oh, that cry from the heart! That cry from the heart that I think inspired a lot of people among us!”
“Mr. Tanguy, Mr. Tanguy”, President Naïma Moutchou (Horizons) tried to temper from the perch. To the right of the right, the elected nurses almost cried with laughter – and certainly with exhaustion, the clock said almost 6 am) – at the situation.
“Silence for France!”, shouted again the deputy of the National Group to cover the uproar of the elected officials of Nupes.
small joke
“A second round will be opened”, he announced with a calmer tone in reference to the future debates this Friday on the first reading examination of the finance reform bill for 2022.
“A second round… Ah! You must like it! Here is the 7th round!”, he exclaimed, addressing the nupes who had seen a “third round” of the presidential election in the legislative elections.
“You wanted a first one and you lost it!” exclaimed Jean-Philippe Tanguy at the Assembly’s microphone. “You wanted a second one, they offered it to you!” he added, pointing to the rows of the majority. “A third, you gave it to us!” he continued before getting confused in his accounts, to the laughter of his fellow RNs.
“You have to laugh a little! A little levity after tonight,” the elect added later on the podium, evoking “hours” of “a little difficult” debate.
After sitting officers and Assembly staff were applauded for their efforts, he ended by paying an unexpected tribute to his opponents:
“And you also left-wing people, well!” greeted the 36-year-old deputy from RN, “because even though you are very painful, you let us make the joke.”
At that precise moment, Marine Le Pen, hilarious, had to hide her face in her hands. “It’s a sketch!” We then exclaimed from Nupes’ side. Jean-Philippe Tanguy’s speech ended under a loud count from the Insoumis: “6, 5, 4, 3…” until his speaking time was completely up.
Apotheosis of an eventful exam
The prominent speech by the Somme deputy ended hours of debate that had been going on since Monday. During these four days, the elected member of the National Group stood out on several occasions. Invective, mockery, sometimes even insults, Jean-Philippe Tanguy’s rhetoric has often ulcerated the nupes, the majority and the LR.
During this latest session on purchasing power, he called the Greens “environmentalists” and “energy drainers.” A few days earlier, it was the ability of the text’s rapporteur, Charlotte Parmentier Lecoq, that she called into question. “You are the red jesters of King Macron!”, She had rebuked the Nupes at dawn of the review of the law on Monday.
These debates will have been an opportunity for the elected official, who only arrived at the Palais Bourbon a few weeks ago, to now be considered one of the main speakers of his parliamentary group.
