A new slip-up in the National Assembly? The Insoumis deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône Sébastien Delogu is accused of having insulted the deputy Aurore Bergé, this Tuesday, November 12, during the traditional question session to the government. “You’re trash!” » he would have shouted, addressing her directly. An attack which followed a question asked by the former minister on the question of anti-Semitism.
Very quickly, she targeted the Insoumis deputies, accused of “putting a target on the back” of compatriots of Jewish faith, after recalling the terrible events in Amsterdam on the sidelines of the Europa League match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
“Where is our common humanity when in the heart of the European continent men and women must cry out I'm not Jewish to hope to emerge unscathed from this manhunt? she asks. Where is our common humanity when deputies who sit here in the National Assembly place targets behind the backs of our Jewish compatriots, essentialize them, consider that they are responsible for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, refuse to denounce the pogrom of the 7 October, refuse to consider Hamas a terrorist organization. Worse, one of these deputies spoke about them by saying these people. »
Sitting at the perch to direct the session, the vice-president of the National Assembly Naïma Moutchou indicated that she had not heard what the deputy Delogu had said, before announcing the referral to the services of the Assembly in order to make the light on the words which would have actually been spoken by the LFI deputy. The latter's entourage, contacted by AFP, affirms that Sébastien Delogu would have in reality said that Aurore Bergé would end up “in the dustbin of history”.
According to our information, the Assembly services, for their part, noted this sentence, pronounced by Sébastien Delogu: “The supporters who shouted we're going to fuck the Arabsyou don't say anything about it! You will end up in the dustbin of history, the trash! » This statement comes after the tweet from Insoumise MP Marie Mesmeur. At the end of the week, she affirmed that Israeli supporters were “not lynched because they were Jewish”.
Once calm more or less returned this Tuesday in the Assembly, the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau responded to Aurore Bergé. “You’re absolutely right,” he said. “The most unbridled, uninhibited anti-Semitism is now back,” he added, before attacking in turn “all those who exploit the Palestinian cause for purely political purposes.” A response which made the elected representatives of Laurent Wauquiez's Republican Right group stand up as one man. But also several deputies Together for the Republic, like Gérald Darmanin.
