POLICY – Dura led, sex led. In the past 24 hours, several left -wing MEPs have been won over the social networks of a particularly acid video montage showing Jordan Bardella, president of the RN and also president of the Patriotic Group in the European Parliament, in difficulty in the hemicycle.

The scene takes place this Thursday, January 23. The far -right leader then evokes the presidency of Donald Trump and the way in which the EU must react. Butas you can see in our video at the top of the articlehe does not have time to finish his remarks that the president of the meeting, Sabine Verheyen (Christian Democrats) dismisses her by explaining that the foundation of her speaking, namely the recourse to article 133 of Parliament European, is not valid. Despite its insistence – ” I have 30 seconds left I will finish if you allow -, Impossible to go further.
Bardella's entourage denounces ” censorship »
Questioned by The HuffPostthe entourage of MEP RN explains that he wanted to react to declarations of the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, held from Davos, and claim the repeal of the Green Deal as a defense measure against the trade war announced by Donald Trump. A real obsession with Jordan Bardella. Tuesday, he had also made – and this time to the end – a long declaration, still in plenary, to aim for the green pact, carrying he said of ” A policy of industrial and agricultural decline leading us straight to ruin ».
The entourage of Jordan Bardella is convinced of this: he suffered a ” censure “And a” unfavorable treatment »De la part de Sabine Verheyen. « The attitude of the president of the meeting was scandalous. We have never seen a group president to be cut off like that. The others have very free interventions, sometimes even beyond a minute ”deplores his team, who believes that an Allied MEP suffered shortly after the same censorship during this same session.
And to brandish for proof of this ” censure “, The speaking, the day before, of a Portuguese left elected official, Joao Oliveira” Based on the same article 133 “, To hear the policy of Benjamin Netanyahu in the West Bank. In a crowded public letter addressed to the President of Parliament, Roberta Metsola, this Friday, Jordan Bardella denounces a ” grave incident “And plague against” A flagration of treatment of treatment Between his group and the others.
What does article 133 say precisely? In its version available online, the internal regulations stipulate that MEPs can request, in one minute therefore, explanations from the Commission on decisions or declarations. But can the words of Ursula von der Leyen pronounced in Switzerland enter this framework?
Precise internal regulations
Also contacted, the services of the European Parliament believe that the rule is very clear, and that the article in question relates only to decisions made within the bodies, or of declarations made within it, and not on comments made to the 'outside. This is exactly the argument opposed by Sabine Verheyen to Jordan Bardella. “” A narrow vision of the internal regulationswe reply in the entourage of the MEP. These reminders are also political tools for opposition groups, it is a way of bringing the European debate to life ».
-The European body, which recalls that other means are possible to propose a debate or a question, insists, it, on the checks which are made upstream of the speeches of the genre. And that a member of the Plenary service also still accompanies each presidency. Although there may sometimes be nuances in appreciation, the instructions are clear and constant, ensures the institution.
Asked about a possible two weights with the speech of the Portuguese elected official on Wednesday, the Parliament refers in particular to article 195 of the internal regulations which stipulate that ” Speech requests for a recall to the internal regulations must bring to the point of the agenda under discussion ». Which was not the case with the intervention of the president of the RN. In addition, the argument invoked by the entourage of Jordan Bardella – that of a partial treatment – comes up against a size of size. Even annoying.
After re-listening to the counterexample given by his entourage, we actually realize that the Portuguese MEP refers to article 123 (” One hundred and twenty -three ») relating to the violation of human rights, not to 133 as translated by mistakes the audio dubbing in French. What shows the written report as well as the dubbing in English of the session. When it doesn't want …
