The parliamentary niche of the republican right will have been the scene of insults between the RN and LFI. Thursday, February 6, the deputy LFI Ersilia suddenly had asked the vice-president of the assembly, Roland Lescure, “to worry that systematically”, she “had the right to harassment” to each of her speeches, reports Bfmtv. In response, the deputy RN Frédéric Falcon assured: “Madame Sudais, if you sigh when you speak, it is not because you are a woman, it is because you are a notorious anti -Semitic.” As a reminder, Ersilia Sudais is positioned against the war waged in the Middle East and is regularly criticized for its Propalestinian positions.
