After the letter from Éric Ciotti to Yaël Braun-Pivet, the president of the National Assembly, asking for the return of the compulsory tie in the hemicycle, the deputies of rebellious France arrive this Tuesday afternoon in ties.
Among the participants in this event, minutes before the questions to the government, stands out Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI-Nupes group.
“Snub” for Clémentine Autain
“When a certain number of women speak in the hemicycle, it is said that the voices are too loud, that we are badly dressed… They will get used to it!”, the deputy launched in front of the journalists. for Val-de-Marne and president of the group.
His colleague, Clémentine Autain, sees him as “a snub” to criticism.
Face au “relachement ropaire” important after “le début de cette nouvelle législature, déjà présent sous la précédente”, “mais grandement amplifié”, le député LR compte, lui, sur le retour du port de la cravate dans le règlement de l’ National Assembly.
Since 2017, it is no longer mandatory in the National Assembly. Before, a bailiff could prevent the deputies from accessing the session due to the lack of the precious accessory.
“A far from trivial question” for Louis Boyard
This request was not to the liking of Louis Boyard, the youngest metropolitan deputy and also a rebel.
“Wearing costumes at exorbitant prices (…) is testimony to indecent luxury in view of the explosion of poverty in our country,” the elected official lashed out in a letter also addressed to the president of the Palais-Bourbon.
“The deputies’ suits whose price sometimes even exceeds the amount of a minimum wage reflect a deplorable image of our Assembly,” the deputy further advances in his letter.
The tie, always seen as a sign of respectability
Eric Ciotti’s request was all the less appreciated since on the same day, Renaud Muselier, president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, had described the left-wing deputies as “dirty and scruffy” on BFMTV.
Proof that the subject remains sensitive and that the tie is still seen as an outward sign of seriousness: Marine Le Pen asked her 88 deputies to wear the tie for her first day in the National Assembly at the end of June.
