This is a bit the return match of the debate on the law “Commending the principles of the Republic”, in 2021, that the deputies the Republicans (LRs) and those of the majority played, Wednesday, February 9, to the ‘National Assembly. The object of bitter discussion between the holders of a secularism that is “open” and those of a stricter laity, erected in export of the fight against Islamism: an amendment to the proposed law on the Sport targeting the port of religious signs in sports competitions.
In this end of the legislature, it is a subject that many did not think to see back to Parliament. After the promulgation of the law on the principles of the Republic (called “separatism”) in August 2021, the majority had promised to reopen the subject of religious neutrality, very clevy, even in its ranks. It was not counting the LR party, the majority in the Senate and the first opposition group at the National Assembly. After a first reading without a hitch of the text of the group the Republic (LRM) on the “Democratization of Sport” in March 2021 at the Palais-Bourbon, the Senate Right voted on 19 January, against the opinion of the Government, an amendment On religious signs, with, on line of sight, the veil.
This point resulted in the criticism of the majority and resulted in a disagreement between senators and deputies in Joint Joint Committee (CMP) on 31 January. Since then, the debate has put in light of the “hijabeuses”, a collective of footballers who militate for the right to wear the veil in sports competitions. The President of the LR Group in Senate, Bruno Retail, denounces Emmanuel Macron’s “compromisal” and his majority with “radical Islamism”.

In his intervention of ten minutes, Mr. Ciotti, who had not taken part in the previous discussions on the bill, denounced in turn “ambiguities”, “cowardice”, the ” Total convergence of view between the majority and France unsuitable “, and” the submission to Islamists “macronian elected representatives, aroused in return of the hoots. “Zemmour, come out of this body!” Exclaimed the member LRM of Saône-et-Loire Rémy Rebeyrotte, before being reminded of the order by the President of the meeting, Annie Genevard (LR, Doubs). “A shame”, retorted the President of the LRM Group at the Assembly, Christophe Castaner. The Secretary of State for Priority Education, Nathalie Elimas, had attempted to deter opposition lr minutes earlier: “attempts to instrumentalise this law, to revive debates on neutrality in sport, and in the public sphere, are deleterious. “
