The Marine Le Pen group has failed to have its five law proposals adopted during its parliamentary niche, Thursday January 12.

If the health cordon around the national rally (RN) is more and more tenuous -as proof of the 89 deputies elected in June and the two vice -presidents of the National Assembly obtained -, it still resists in the hemicycle . The group led by Marine Le Pen had bitter experience on Thursday, January 12, on the occasion of his parliamentary niche. Although for the first time in its history, the extreme right had the hand on the agenda of the assembly – until midnight -, its five law proposals examined were rejected.
Texts coming from other parliamentary groups
The proposed texts aimed to encourage companies to increase net wages by 10 % by exempting them from employer contributions; to establish a right to visit parliamentarians in social and medico-social establishments; to remove low -emission zones (ZFE) in agglomerations; to impose the wearing of uniform at school; or to set up proportional.
Rather than positioning itself as usual on the Trealian, the far -right group had chosen to offer texts coming from other more consensual parliamentary groups. It was also a question of promoting faces from the most novice ranks of the RN, very discreet in the hemicycle since the start of the legislature alongside the leading figures like the vice-president of the assembly, Sébastien Chenu (North), or Jean-Philippe Tanguy (Somme).
The “cuckoo strategy”
But the deputies of the presidential coalition and those of the new ecological and social popular union (Nuts) managed to sweep, each time, the texts of the extreme right group, by voting suppression amendments. Emptyed with their content, none of the RN’s law proposals could be adopted.
All day, the opponents of the Marine Le Pen group have pinned “the communication blows” of the elected officials RN, “their incompetence and their amateurism”, and the “cuckoo strategy” they adopted. The socialist deputy of Essonne, Jérôme Guedj, reproached them for taking subjects from “this or that political family”: “You distort them, you unravel them, you pervert them and you reveal the emptiness of your program”, he still accused.
Only the few elected representatives (LR) present in the hemicycle have supported certain texts such as the abolition of ZFEs or the port of uniform at school. “No matter where the ideas, the law proposals come from. Today, it is the general interest that must take precedence,” defended the deputy LR of the Oise Maxime Minot, who had deposited in 2018 A bill on the uniform at school, college and high school.
