LFI withdraws its text after causing an outcry

POLITICS – “ There has never been and there will never be an agreement of our group with the extreme right “. After the outcry caused by the hypothesis of bringing his bill to the unvaccinated caregivers in the parliamentary niche of the RN, the rebellious are backtracking by withdrawing their text.

Recall of facts. Tuesday, December 6 at the National Assembly, the rebellious deputy Caroline Fiat affirms that it is ready to defend its text on the unvaccinated caregivers in the parliamentary niche of national rally scheduled for January.

The group chaired by Marine Le Pen has in fact put this bill on its list, the examination of which had not could come to an end during the niche of the rebellious. However, in the Social Affairs Committee, the RN did not obtain that the deputy RN Frédéric Falcon be appointed co-rapporteur on the text, due to the opposition of ecologists, socialists, rebels and the abstention of Renaissance.

“Between red and brown, there are not 50 shades of difference »

Thus, the hypothesis of a presentation of this text by Caroline Fiat within the niche of the RN appeared, as we explained in a first post. ” They give me their legislative time, I wasn’t going to say no “, then assumes the elected LFI in front of the press. If Caroline Fiat denies everything OK ” passed with the far right, this unprecedented choice to defend its text within the RN niche is not seen other than as a de facto agreement between the two formations.

” We thought the dikes would jump first between the right and the extreme right. But this evening, it is indeed the far left and the NUPES who are taking a new step in their honeymoon with the Lepenists,” denounced on Twitter the boss of the presidential party, Stéphane Séjourné. ” The cause was shameful, the alliance is outrageous “, adds the Renaissance deputy of Vienne, Sacha Houlié. Even a minister went there with her comment. ” EBetween red and brown, there are not 50 shades of difference “commented Olivia Grégoire.

Beyond the Macronist troops, who constantly want to dismiss LFI and RN back-to-back, the decision of the rebellious also makes the NUPES side cringe. “We do not spawn with the far right”reacted this Wednesday, December 7 the president of the socialist group Boris Vallaud, while the first secretary of the Socialist Party admitted on franceinfo that “symbolically, it’s problematic”.

In a tweet published later in the morning, the boss of the PS was more virulent against his rebellious allies. While Caroline Fiat denounced the fact that we can speak of an agreement between the RN and LFI, the deputy for Seine-et-Marne replied curtly.

” When the RN lays a trap, the best thing is not to jump into it with both feet. At no time and under no pretext can there be any confusion between the left and the far right,” replied Olivier Faure. The Secretary General of the Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, also opposed this hypothesis.

As the controversy swells, the rebellious deputy Manuel Bompard tried to put out the fire. “The National Rally took the decision alone, in its corner, to say that it wanted to take up the text”, justified on RMC the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, repeating that there was ” disagree between the RN and LFI.

When LFI thought it could “hack” the RN niche

The fact remains that, in fact, the rebellious had accepted the idea that Caroline Fiat could defend her text within the RN niche, thus thinking of having thwarted the ” trap ” extended by the Lepenist troops having obtained the fact that the rebellious deputy is the only rapporteur.

” From the beginning they have been trying to transform our PPL by clearing the whole side on the health protocol, it’s just low-end opportunists. They wanted to put in an anti-protocol co-rapporteur, and they got beat up and they’re caught in their own trap.” justified to HuffPost a rebellious source, believing that this maneuver made it possible to ” hacker » the niche of the RN.

A risky tactic to say the least, because it reflects the image of an agreement with the RN, which moreover has no objection to letting the rebellious present its text in its own niche.

Result, including within the partners of the NUPES, Caroline Fiat is summoned to withdraw her text, so as not to give the impression of topping with the far right. ” No ambiguity possible, abstract the socialist deputy, Arthur Delaporte.

It was heard, since the rebellious finally withdrew their text, denouncing a ” the lies aimed at making people believe in an agreement between France Insoumise and the National Rally “. To put an end to any ambiguity, Jean-Luc Mélenchon also stepped up to the plate.

” The suspended caregivers are not intended to serve the communication shots of the National Rally. Because with more than 300 amendments to examine, it would take 15 hours of debate to get to the end of the text. The vote of this text is therefore impossible in the niche of the National Rally “, indicates the press release of the rebellious group to the National Assembly, announcing “ a new bill, co-signed with the overseas deputies of all the political groups who so wish “with the aim that she be registered” a.s.a.p on the National Assembly’s weekly agenda.
