Guest of the morning of Europe 1, Franck Riester, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament, declared himself “shocked by the despicable remarks” made in the National Assembly. During an intervention by LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo on Thursday evening on the “drama of illegal immigration”, RN deputy Grégoire de Fournas launched in the hemicycle “that he (s) return (s) to Africa ” .
At the microphone of Dimitri Pavlenko’s Europe, Franck Riester, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament, returned to his feelings and that of the majority following the altercation between MP RN Grégoire de Fournas and LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo. “I have never felt such violence and such shock,” explains the minister.
“Whether he says ‘he’ with an ‘s’ or ‘without s’, everyone was shocked. I saw deputies who were in tears after that moment”, says the minister. According to Franck Riester, this episode bears witness to “the face of hatred, the true face of the National Front”. It should be noted that in this context, the Minister uses the former name of the National Rally.
“The masks are falling, we see what we have been denouncing for years, the National Front which tries to be more respectable, which puts a tie in the National Assembly is the party of hatred and racism. This is the reality”, continues the minister.
“A very heavy penalty”
According to the minister, the remarks of Grégoire de Fournas are of a violence “without name and it is absolutely unacceptable in a Republic whose values cannot tolerate that”. The minister demands “a very heavy sanction”. He also spoke to Marine Le Pen: “She cannot simply cover her deputy. She must take her responsibilities. Will she accept that a deputy having such remarks remains within the RN group? I do not can design it”.
