For around twenty minutes, the rebellious MP Ugo Bernalicis multiplied cries and threats to demand the suspension of the examination of the text in committee. At the same time, in the hemicycle, a text from the LFI parliamentary niche was examined, a day during which the group can present its own texts to the Assembly.
The MP affirms that his colleagues want to be able to attend the debate and explains that it will be necessary to use physical force “ if you want to kick me out of this commission “. A request for suspension refused by Sacha Houlié, president of the Law Commission. Examination of the text is at the stage of general discussion and is not the subject of a vote likely to free parliamentarians, according to him. The rebellious MP then allegedly prevented his colleague from the Liot group, Christophe Naegelen, from presenting his amendment.
According to several deputies, the two elected officials then had a brief altercation, leading to a “ physical contact “, but ” no violence » according to Renaissance MP Caroline Abadie.
Yaël Braun-Pivet decided to issue a call to order to the member of La France insoumise. Ugo Bernalicis will also see his parliamentary allowance reduced by 25% for one month. “ It will belong to the office of the Assembly », its highest executive body, to rule on a possible “ more severe punishment », announced the presidency in a press release.
