TRUE OR FALSE. Does the National Rally systematically oppose government measures?
TRUE OR FALSE. Does the National Rally systematically oppose government measures? – (franceinfo)
Friday December 8, on the set of 19/20 info, Nicolas Carvalho, journalist at the True or false unit of franceinfo, returns to the declarations of Elisabeth Borne which targeted the deputies of the National Rally on their votes in the National Assembly.
Elisabeth Borne began to target the National Rally (RN), particularly on its behavior regarding votes in the National Assembly. The Prime Minister thus declared, Tuesday, December 5, in the hemicycle in front of the deputies that the RN has “systematically opposed to measures to strengthen the protection of the French, systematically opposed to measures to strengthen the fight against terrorism”. “We are taking action, you are in the right posture. Your votes speak for themselves” she added.
Several examples
Elisabeth Borne refers in particular to the “so-called law strengthening internal security and the fight against terrorism, voted in 2017 by the Assembly, but not by FN deputies”, specifies journalist Nicolas Carvalho. The same goes for the creation of the offense of separatism in 2021, where RN deputies did not take part in the vote. “A way for the majority to show the double discourse of the RN, which ultimately would not vote for the texts it demands”adds Nicolas Carvalho, who also gives the example of an amendment tabled by the RN which would propose to relax the rules on illegal employees.
