Yaël Braun-Pivet adopts “another tactic”. The President of the National Assembly explained, Monday December 11 on RTL, that she chose “simply contempt” in the face of attacks from Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The leader of La France insoumise, after calling journalist Ruth Elkrief a “manipulative”had been roundly taken up by Gérard Larcher, who had sent him a “shut your mouth”. “I think so, but I don’t say it, because I chose another tactic, which is not to respond to his excesses”, assured Yaël Braun-Pivet. She added that she understood the Senate President’s comments.

“I no longer respond to Jean-Luc Mélenchon because he lives from this today, he only lives from controversies, he only lives from his excesses on the media or on social networks”, detailed the President of the Assembly. She defended the principle of being “simply silent and despising” THE “attacks” of the former presidential candidate who “targeted personally”. She nevertheless assured that “I use these types of words like all French people”. In response to Gérard Larcher’s insults, Jean-Luc Mélenchon finally joked the next day about “professional deformation” of his “old friend vet”.
