According to the rules of procedure of the National Assembly, Grégoire de Fournas, deputy National Rally, risks up to “censorship with temporary exclusion” from the hemicycle, after his controversial remarks made Thursday during the intervention of the elected LFI Carlos Martens Bilongo, black, who was speaking on the “drama of illegal immigration”. “Let them return to Africa”, admitted to speaking out the RN MP, saying his remarks were aimed at migrants and not the rebellious MP.

The internal regulations of the National Assembly recall that there are four disciplinary penalties applicable to its members: call to order, call to order with entry in the minutes, censure or censure with temporary exclusion.
The call to order with entry in the minutes may result in the deprivation, for one month, of a quarter of the parliamentary allowance allocated to the deputy. Simple censure may entail the deprivation, for one month, of half of the parliamentary allowance allocated to the deputy.
Finally, censorship with temporary exclusion can entail the deprivation, for two months, of half of the parliamentary allowance allocated to the deputy and “prohibition to take part in the work of the Assembly and to reappear in the Palace of the Assembly until the expiration of the fifteenth sitting day following that on which the sentence was pronounced”. In the event that censorship with temporary exclusion is applied for the second time to a Deputy, the exclusion extends to thirty sitting days.
