In the cauldron of questions in the government in the National Assembly, Thursday, November 3, the cry of a deputy depressed a new corner in the standardization company of the National Rally (RN). Grégoire de Fournas, deputy of Gironde, yelled to his colleague from La France Insoumise (LFI) of Val-d’Oise Carlos Martens Bilongo, to black skin: “whom he returns to Africa!”, While M.
