Elisabeth Badinter, widow of Robert Badinter, indicated that she does not want the presence of the RN and LFI at the national tribute which will be paid to him on Wednesday February 14. If Marine Le Pen intends to respect this request, LFI elected officials will represent the party at Place Vendôme.
The deputies of the National Assembly stood on Tuesday February 13 to honor the memory of Robert Badinter with a minute of silence. Some are not welcome for the national tribute which will be paid to the former Minister of Justice on Wednesday. Elisabeth Badinter, his widow, has made it known that she does not want the presence of the National Rally or La France insoumise.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon protests
Marine Le Pen intends to respect the wishes of Elisabeth Badinter. But in the ranks of the far-right party, voices are being raised against this decision. On the side of the Insoumis, their historic leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, rebels. “A national tribute from which part of the French are excluded is no longer a national tribute”, he wrote on X. Caroline Fiat and Éric Coquerel, both deputies, will still represent the far-left party on Wednesday at Place Vendôme.
