In order to prove “the sectarianism” of the groups of the Palais-Bourbon, the far right has recovered law proposals already submitted by other political groups. They will be studied, and probably rejected, Thursday, January 12.

Zoologists call it “brooding parasitism”, political practitioners the “cuckoo strategy”. The gray cuckoo applies to laying in the nest of another species, generally passerines, leaving it the load of the brooding and the diet of the small. In the National Assembly, the gray cuckoo is called national rally (RN) and the passerines have pink, red, orange or blue plumage. Socialists, “Insoumis”, MoDem, Les Républicains (LR): to compose its parliamentary niche on January 12 – day reserved for the laws of a parliamentary group -, the RN has drawn everywhere.
More than advancing its own themes, such as immigration or security, Marine Le Pen troops are targeting an improbable legislative victory, but especially hope right. For six months, the RN, which seems to have only one tour in its bag, reaches its ends every time.
Of the five texts registered as a priority for the agenda of his niche, three are covers of proposals made by the left or the right in recent years, sometimes to the nearest word. The other two join LR concerns, the RN of which is constantly highlighting internal contradictions. Initially, the group of M me le Pen saw even greater: it had prioritious two texts being likely to be adopted, one on the reintegration of caregivers not vaccinated against COVVI -19, deposited by rebellious France (LFI), the other on assistance to victims of domestic violence, already voted unanimously by the Senate at the initiative of the Union of Democrats and Independent.
“A new practice”
LFI had to withdraw the first on the injunction of its allies from the new ecological and social popular union, after the deputy LFI of Meurthe-et-Moselle Caroline Fiat, on the initiative of the bill, in However, discussed with M le pen by phone. The second text was pre -empted by the Conference of Presidents of the National Assembly, with the agreement of the RN: it is registered on the agenda of January 16.
“It is a new practice, which has never been implemented with this systematicity, is surprised Olivier Rozenberg, political scientist at the Center for European Studies and Comparative Policy of Sciences Po and History Specialist Parliamentary. It is rare that the texts of opponents are raised in a triangulation strategy. This seems to me in coherence with the RN strategy since if the other groups vote the text, it is a step towards normalization. ”
