In the National ***embly, the Communists have two texts adopted and criticize the “indecency” of elected Macronists

In a Hemicycle still marked by the fight for pensions, the day reserved for the texts of the communist group, Thursday, May 4, at the National ***embly, once again illustrated the gaping gap between the relative majority of Emmanuel Macron and all of the opposition groups. At the Palais-Bourbon, the Communist deputies p***ed two bills, one repealing the suspension of caregivers not vaccinated with Covid-19 and the second aimed at “ protect the Electricité de France group [EDF] of a dismemberment”.

The Communists received each time the support of the other components of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes), the National Rally (RN), the Republicans (LR) and the elected representatives of the heterogeneous group Liberté, independents, overseas and territories (LIOT). On the other hand, they failed to have their motion for a resolution adopted condemning “Israel’s institutionalization of an apartheid regime”.

While a parliamentary niche day usually ends at midnight, the session had to be interrupted around 11 p.m. “serious discomfort” of an official of the institution in the Hemicycle during a suspension of the session, informed the perch the President of the National ***embly, Yaël Braun-Pivet.

In addition to the forty sub-amendments tabled by the Macronist deputies on the text a few minutes before its examination, the ministers of the economy, Bruno Le Maire, and of public accounts, Gabriel Attal succeeded each other for more than an hour at the tribune of the Hemicycle to express their opposition to a measure deemed too costly.
