Visit of Charles III to Paris: “I don’t want to parade with people who eat lobster”, says Insoumis MP Louis Boyard

The deputy LFI Louis Boyard did not attend King Charles III’s speech to the National Assembly on Thursday September 21. On the 19/20 info set, the parliamentarian states: “There is an obvious friendship between the French people and the people of the United Kingdom. […] 40% French people do not approve [la visite de Charles III]. That seems like a huge proportion to me. […] All the decor that there is around is completely indecent.” He sees in the visit of the British monarch a materialization of “class struggle”between “France which is doing well and showing itself on TV sets” And “France is going badly”.

“Help people who are struggling”

Asked about his absence, Louis Boyard replied: “I was working on legislative proposals that will help these French people.” He then engages: “Currently, we are working on the ‘France Travail law’, where you have the question of the reintegration of French people into employment.” The MP qualifies and points out that it is not a boycott, because “three deputies [LFI] went there.” “My role as a parliamentarian is to help people who are in trouble. For me, the news is here. In my riding, there are children who eat one meal a day. I don’t want to parade around with people who eat lobster.”insists the chosen one.
