“Do not add dishonor to compromise”, says André Chassaigne to the deputies of the presidential camp
Tension rises a notch in the National Assembly between the left and the government during questions to the government. During his speech, the president of the communist group, André Chassaigne, accused the executive of“use the CMP to bypass Parliament and conclude at all costs with the LR right aligned with the positions of the National Rally”. “Madam Prime Minister, understand your historical responsibility. The election of President Macron should protect us from the worst attacks of the far-right program. Today, shields, you have become the footstool », he said to Elisabeth Borne. Before querying: “How can you give in on our values, for questions as essential as state medical aid, land rights, the right to social benefits, loss of nationality? »
A few hours before the vote in the Assembly, still scheduled for 9:30 p.m., the elected official from Puy-de-Dôme calls “solemnly” the deputies to ” recover “. “This evening you will write a page in our history, the history of a country which, on December 19, would renounce its humanist values. (…) Do not add dishonor to compromise. Do not let this text of shame permanently fracture our Republic and deny the humanist values of our country”expressed Mr. Chassaigne.
As with the president of the LIOT group, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, then took the floor to defend the content of the bill:
“What in the text is the ban on placing minors in administrative detention. This is a strong measure, the left has not done it. What is in the text is the regularization of those who work without needing the agreement of the employer. The left did not do it. What is in the text are firm sanctions against smugglers, against slumlords who take advantage of vulnerable people. The left did not do it. »
Accusing the New Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nupes) of having rejected the text with the votes of the National Rally, the Prime Minister accused the left of being “in the collision” with the extreme right. “We are fighting it”she assured, applauded by the deputies of the presidential camp.
