Incident at the National Assembly: an LFI deputy brandishes the Palestinian flag, causing an interruption of the session

This Tuesday, May 28, Sébastien Delogu, LFI deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône, caused the interruption of the session at the National Assembly by brandishing a Palestinian flag, provoking a reaction from President Yaël Braun-Pivet, who described his “unacceptable” behavior. This action led to the suspension of the session and the convening of an Assembly office to discuss a possible sanction against the deputy. This situation marked a tense afternoon at the Palais Bourbon, also with a clash between an environmentalist MP and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on the question of recognition of a Palestinian state by France.

During this same session, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal avoided answering a question on the possible recognition of a Palestinian state by France, raised by the leader of the environmentalist deputies Cyrielle Châtelain. The latter also questioned the Prime Minister on France's position regarding "strong sanctions against the Israeli government" with the UN Security Council and the European Union in the face of the offensive on Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip.

The Prime Minister's response was criticized by the MP, who denounced "a pathetic and politicized response" from the head of government, to which Gabriel Attal retorted: "With the same vigor that we call for a cease-fire." fire, we must call for the release of all the hostages, including our French hostages. »

MP Sébastien Delogu was excluded from the National Assembly for 15 days with suspension of compensation…
