However, no sanction should be pronounced against the elected officials concerned, since the acts of which they are accused were committed outside the Palais Bourbon.

Will the Nupes deputies who participated in the banned demonstration in support of Adama Traoré be punished by the National Assembly? According to our information, the president of the Palais Bourbon, Yaël Braun-Pivet, replied by mail to the three majority group presidents who demanded a referral from the “bureau“of the institution”for a possible sanction».

If the case of the Insoumis Éric Coquerel, the ecologist Sandrine Rousseau, and the other parliamentarians concerned will be well debated during the next office, which is to meet on July 19, no sanction will be pronounced a priori. “If it appears necessary that these abuses be denounced with force, the office is however not the appropriate body to sanction the facts that have occurred.“Explains Yaël Braun-Pivet in his letter. Before adding:These facts took place outside the National Assembly and do not fall within those on which the regulations give the office jurisdiction to rule.»

A “deplorable” attitude

The President of the Assembly therefore agrees to put the subject on the agenda of the office, which therefore already promises to be agitated. “The behaviors that you denounce contribute to mislead and seriously degrade the parliamentary function. This attitude is all the more deplorable since these deputies, even though they are wearing their tricolor scarf, are knowingly flouting the laws of the republic, which is incumbent on them to vote“Writes the elected Yvelines.

On Tuesday, Aurore Bergé (Renaissance), Jean-Paul Mattei (MoDem) and Laurent Marcangeli (Horizons) reminded the President of the Assembly that article 70 paragraph 2 of the regulations of the National Assembly “provides that any member of the Assembly engaging in demonstrators disturbing the peace may be subject to disciplinary penalties. However, this gathering was banned for the same reason of risk of public disorder”».
