The deputy RN Grégoire de Fournas pronounced, Thursday, November 3, in the National Assembly, words which caused a scandal. Remarks deemed racist by the entire political class, with the exception of the deputies of Marine Le Pen, who are united. Now comes the question of sanctions.
On the Bruay-la-Brussière market (Pas-de-Calais), the racist remarks made Thursday, November 3 at the National Assembly by the deputy RN Gregoire de Fournas (“that they return(s) to Africa”) are in all discussions. Here, 70% of voters voted for Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election, but few denounce this attitude. “Everyone has blinkers on, we say, that immigration must be stopped”says one resident, while another points out that “When you’re a deputy, you inevitably have things to say”.
The office of the National Assembly must meet Friday afternoon to decide on possible sanctions. The inhabitants of Bruay-la-Brussière also have their opinion. “You shouldn’t make a big deal out of it either”judge one of them. “At least one exclusion”, says another. Four sanctions exist in the National Assembly: from a simple call to order to the temporary exclusion of the deputy. On the other hand, he cannot be thanked. However, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin is calling for his resignation. the deputy Gregory de Fournas is not his first statement with a racist content on Africa: he is even customary with regard to his statements on social networks.
