According to Marine Le Pen, four of the five women deputies of the National Rally received a message telling them that one of their children was hospitalized. For her, it is a maneuver that aims to distract the members of the National Rally during the vote on a referendum motion.
The president of the RN group in the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen, denounced Monday evening “maneuvers” to “distract” deputies during a ballot on pension reform, with malicious messages addressed to some.
I would like to denounce an extremely serious fact. Several of our MPs received a fraudulent message indicating that one of their children was hospitalized. This is a maneuver to distract members from their presence and prevent our motion from being presented. pic.twitter.com/pUBENO6Z8C
