This is called catching up without changing lines. After rejecting a socialist bill aimed at generalizing the one-euro meal for all students in the Crous, the Renaissance deputies want to perpetuate this price for scholarship students. “We have set up the 1 euro meal for students who need it during the crisis. We are tabling a bill to sanctuary it for scholarship and precarious students, ”said the boss of the Renaissance group Aurore Bergé.
“The government will support this bill,” said Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne on Twitter. It is “a system of equity and social justice which is based on the principle of enhanced aid for the benefit of those who need it most”, supports the explanatory memorandum to the bill.
Thursday, the first victorious votes on amendments hinted at a possible socialist victory in favor of one-euro meals for all students, before the presidential camp mobilized deputies for the final vote. The rejection of the PS text, except for one vote, aroused strong reactions. LFI deputy Louis Boyard, a student until his election in June, asked to “retain” the names of the deputies who opposed the one-euro meal, a practice denounced by many elected Macronists. Parliamentarians were then “harassed” on social networks, and “some deputies saw their children (being) harassed because their parent had cast a vote”, denounced Erwan Balanant (MoDem).
