Vote on a text proposed by the National Rally even if it is consensual? This is the dilemma facing his political adversaries. The far-right party is indeed opening its parliamentary “niche” on October 12 with a proposed law on endometriosis, hoping to finally achieve a parliamentary victory in the Assembly. A particularly difficult proposal to reject: granting women with endometriosis “exempt” long-term condition (ALD) status, “fully covered by health insurance”.
“The National Rally is in a strategy of trivialization,” denounced Monday the boss of the environmentalist deputies Cyrielle Chatelain, on behalf of the left-wing Nupes alliance. “We will see how we react to this niche but in no case […] there will be no common position between us and the National Rally,” she insisted.
Criticizing a “crude operation” by the far-right party to “correct its image”, Clémentine Autain called on the Minister of Health Aurélien Rousseau to issue a decree which would ratify the provisions of her resolution, before the examination of the RN text . “The RN niche is complicated,” recognizes a socialist deputy, who also hopes for a government decree. Otherwise “we will abstain, we will never give a victory to the RN”, he assures.
The majority divided
In the meantime, the prospect of having to take a position on this text also agitates the presidential camp in the Assembly. The question was raised during a meeting of the group’s office on Monday, with several avenues put forward, such as rewriting the text by amendments to adopt a different version, with other measures requested by the associations, or simply rejecting it. The group is due to address the issue in its weekly meeting next Tuesday.
“We are very happy to sometimes have the votes of the RN, […] we cannot say indefinitely that it only works in one direction,” said another member of the majority. “I do not vote for any RN text. It’s going to be a little painful but we were solid during the previous niches,” says Renaissance MP Marc Ferracci. “We are not sectarian, […] we will examine these texts with responsibility,” declared the president of the MoDem group Jean-Paul Mattei at a press conference.
