“There are two problems in this affair. On the one hand, these racist remarks towards our colleague, but also the position and the reaction of the National Rally as a whole”, believes Prisca Thevenot. She hopes for a “hardest and firmest punishment” possible. “Once again, we see that racism still has its place alongside Marine Le Pen and within the National Rally.”

“The RN deputies physically united to prevent this deputy from leaving the hemicycle when we all came down to hold him to account and, even worse, they defended him by trying to trivialize, find excuses and want reinterpret a context that we understood very well.”
