Prohibition of ultra-right demonstrations: “There is something worrying in the fact that the government is resorting more and more often to the prohibition of demonstrations”
If François-Xavier Bellamy finds “distressing“the images of the parade of ultra-right activists last week in the streets of Paris with”people who call themselves patriots and march in disguise as Nazis“, he judges “disturbing” the fact that “the government is resorting more and more often to banning demonstrations“. This weekend, at the request of Gérald Darmanin, the Paris police prefect banned several gatherings of the ultra and far right. Bans not taken to avoid serious disturbances to public order , “which are the necessary restriction to justify such prohibitions“, “but because there would be a political color that displeases“, points out François-Xavier Bellamy. The MEP cites for example “the saucepans“.”We are in a rather worrying moment of restriction of the right to demonstrate, which must be the principle“, he hammers.
Reindustrialisation: “This reindustrialisation depends a lot on foreign capital”
Emmanuel Macron confirmed on Friday May 12 the establishment of a “huge battery factory” in Dunkirk, the result of an investment concluded between the Chinese company XTC, which specializes in the production of lithium batteries, and the French company Orano for an investment of 1.5 billion euros. In total, the reindustrialization project presented by the President promises the creation of 4,700 jobs.”We can only rejoice that industrial jobs are recreated in our country“, reacted François-Xavier Bellamy. The MEP LR still denounces the source of the funds. “This reindustrialization depends a lot on foreign capital, which means that our economy is gradually being taken over by foreign capital.“, criticizes the elected LR.
European regulatory pause: “It has now been a year since the EPP, the group of the European right, called for a legislative moratorium in the European Parliament”
“I fell off my chair“, assures the MEP, François-Xavier Bellamy, after the words of Emmanuel Macron claiming “a European regulatory break“.”I have the impression of hearing our words in those of the President of the Republiche adds. For a year now, in the European Parliament, the EPP, the group of the European right, has been calling for a legislative moratorium“, he explains, specifying that the European Commission “has returned since the start of the mandate to normative inflation“.”On many subjects, key steps have been taken, let’s start by seeing how it works. Let’s stop here, make a moratorium“, advances François-Xavier Bellamy.
