Big tension in the hemicycle. MEPs Insoumise France brandished on Tuesday in the middle of the session in the National Assembly of posters showing the faces of Palestinian children, triggering the huae of RN and LR.
The president of the institution, Yaël Braun-Pivet, who chaired the session of questions to governments, recalled that he was “forbidden to brandish posters” in the hemicycle and indicated that she would seize the assembly office, her highest executive body, a meeting of which is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
The scene occurred during a question by deputy Aymeric Caron (LFI) on the situation in Gaza. “Never in recent history, children have been massacred in such a large number,” he said, referring to Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip. “And as our children, they have a name, they have a face, they have a life to live,” he continued, brandishing a poster showing the image of a young girl “killed in her sleep by a bombing on her tent”.
“The accomplices are numerous”
It was then imitated by the other LFI deputies, each carrying posters with other faces of children. “In this hemicycle, there are many accomplices,” also accused Aymeric Caron shortly before. “You let everything go, it is a scandal,” said deputy RN Kévin Pfeffer, in the direction of Yaël Braun-Pivet.
The Minister Delegate in charge of Europe, Benjamin Haddad, spoke in response to Aymeric Caron: “Only outrageous and caricatures. “” France has always borne this voice of dialogue and peace, while you, the deputy, while your group has continued to instrumentalize this subject so tragic for political purposes, has continued to blow on the embers of anti-Semitism, “he said.
