Resumption of fighting between Israel and Hamas: for “a permanent ceasefire” as quickly as possible

We have constant slogans, so obviously we deplore the intensive resumption of the conflict”.

Moreover, “we are absolutely not silent” on the release of the hostages, explains Clémence Guetté. “There are Franco-Israelis among the hostages, so we rejoice when there are releases. We say each time that all lives are equal. I know that French diplomacy is working in this direction, and it is a good thing”she concludes.

Ultra-right violence: “There is a form of tolerance” from part of the “political class”

On the part of part of the right, as well as the extreme right, “there is a form of tolerance (…) which aims to trivialize these small groups which are violent”, denounces the deputy La France insoumise Clémence Guetté. She welcomes the government’s decision to dissolve three small far-right groups, “good news, obviously”while emphasizing that the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, could go further, “There are more than that in the country that potentially need to be disbanded, but I imagine he has all the information.”

“I find that there is a form of tolerance”continues Clémence Guetté, “including in a political class which is invited a lot in the media, which necessarily has a large audience, which aims to trivialize these small groups which are violent.” We observe, she says, “a phenomenon which is the extreme right-wing of a discourse, accepted but which was not necessarily so in other eras, and against which we must fight with all our strength to unmask what is behind it : a so-called clash of civilizations, a rhetoric that is worrying, that leads to violence.”

Altercation in committee at the Assembly: we must “play down” the facts

The rebellious deputy from the North, Ugo Bernalicis, raised his voice in committee, believing that the session should have been suspended to allow LFI elected officials to go to the hemicycle to follow the texts included in the framework of France’s parliamentary niche rebellious.
