For some time, MPs have been increasingly present on social networks. For parliamentarians, it is a new way of communicating and being able to express themselves freely.
Whether it’s Twitter, Instagram or TikTok, MPs use social media extensively. Thus, subscribers of parliamentarians can watch videos of heated debates or fiery speeches that took place in the hemicycle. “I also authorize myself to inform directly because there, it is without filter, we communicate directly, quickly with the French, with our voters”assumes Philippe Ballard, deputy of the RN of Oise.
For some deputies, social networks are an excellent way to show their disagreement with a law or with political maneuvers. “I’m angry and social networks are also that. It’s saying what you think and I say it. Here, I say what I think, I’m angry, I’m a little disgusted”, says David Guiraud, deputy (Nupes-LFI) of the North. A video posted online by the majority had also marked the spirits since it saw the deputies of the RN and La France insoumise stand up and applaud.
