the rejection of the RN’s bill is “a striking example of the sectarianism” of the Nupes, according to RN deputy Laure Lavalette

The rejection of the RN’s bill aimed at better supporting women with endometriosis, this Wednesday, October 4 in the Social Affairs Committee, is “a striking example of sectarianism and dogmatism” left-wing political groups, National Rally MP Laure Lavalette denounced this Friday, October 6.

This text, which must be re-examined in a public session on October 12 during the group’s niche, plans to grant the approximately 1.5 to 2.5 million women affected a long-term illness status (ALD) “exempt”with full care coverage.

“There are issues that are transpartisan and endometriosis is one of them.

The parliamentary left abstains

The parliamentary left criticizes the RN for wanting to give itself an image as a defender of women’s rights, by partly taking up proposals from a resolution that LFI deputy Clémentine Autain had unanimously adopted in January 2022. Some of the deputies Nupes abstained with the exception of some like the ecologist Sandrine Rousseau who voted against.

“They will have a hard time explaining to women suffering from endometriosis that they did not vote for it because we were the ones carrying it”estimated the RN deputy. “There are subjects that are transpartisan and endometriosis is one of them. Anything that touches on the disease should not be debated. It dishonors the institution and the cause of women.”

Also asked about the announcements from the Minister of Solidarity Aurore Bergé, who plans to create 6,000 places “respite” to allow caregivers to rest, Laure Lavalette ensures that “anything that will help caregivers and that goes in the right direction, we validate.” “However, we will be careful to know how it will be implemented.”
