Although the debates on purchasing power have ended in the National Assembly, the verbal contests between the presidential camp and the opposition continue. interviewed by The Figaro This Wednesday, Gabriel Attal denounces the attitude of the deputies of La France Insoumise and Agrupación Nacional, who have raised their voices throughout the debates of recent days. “The extremes bark but the commitment passes”, launches the Delegate Minister of Public Accounts.
“The Insoumis deputies belched and the RN deputies left the House at the time of the vote (…) [Mais] in the end, the text was adopted more widely than the presidential majority resulting from the legislative elections”, says Gabriel Attal.
Banging desks and booing
“That the temperature has risen (in the hemicycle), is neither surprising nor abnormal,” concedes the minister. “The National Assembly must be the beating heart of democracy.”
Since the beginning of the 16th legislature, the debates in the National Assembly have indeed been intense, and often stormy. Elected officials are very often interrupted by others when they speak, some not hesitating to drown out the voices of their colleagues by banging on their desks, yelling or calling out the names of birds.
According to the official minutes of the sessions of the National Assembly, these behaviors are attributable to the opposition, but also to the presidential majority. Numerous in recent weeks, and sometimes amplified thanks to social networks, these agitations are not uncommon in the hemicycle, even before the arrival of the LFI and RN deputies at the Palais Bourbon.
“So you compare us to dogs!”
On the LFI side, the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Alexis Corbière strongly denounced this statement by Gabriel Attal. “This man, a government spokesman, that’s why he compares us to dogs!” he wrote last night.
“These insults are intolerable and distill the most stale anti-parliamentaryism. It is better that this contemptuous minister closes the fiscal loopholes,” he said, referring to the measures to combat tax evasion proposed by Francia Insubordinada and the Nupes parliamentarians.
