The Insoumis Sébastien Delogu loses his temper after an intervention by Aurore Bergé on anti-Semitic violence in Amsterdam

One week, one controversy. After the threats of LFI deputy Thomas Portes, who recently promised to “take care» of an elected RN, it is the turn of his colleague Sébastien Delogu to stand out within the confines of the National Assembly. This Tuesday, when Aurore Bergé had just denounced last week's anti-Semitic violence in Amsterdam, L'Insoumis verbally attacked her. “You are a big trash”he would have shouted, beside himself, according to several left-wing parliamentary sources sitting not far from him in an overheating Hemicycle. Words that Sébastien Delogu denies having spoken, to the Figaro. And which were not heard by the editors of the National Assembly, who for their part retained: “You will end up in the trash, the trash of History”. Subsequently, the Insoumis MP launched, with a threatening air, looking at the Macronist benches: “What is it?”

At the microphone, the former Minister of Solidarity had, among other things, been critical of the behavior of the Mélenchonists in recent days. “Where is our common humanity when MPs sitting here place targets behind the backs of our Jewish compatriots?”she asked while looking at the LFI benches. A reference to the controversial tweet from Insoumise MP Marie Mesmeur this weekend, posting on X: “These people were not lynched because they were Jewish, but because they were racist and supported genocide.” Comments which the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, was immediately moved by, announcing that he had reported them to the Paris prosecutor for “apology of crime”.

A few seconds after Sébastien Delogu's slip-up, the Minister of the Interior responded to a question from Aurore Bergé on the events in Amsterdam, regretting “the return” of “the most unbridled and uninhibited anti-Semitism” before mentioning “all those who exploit the Palestinian cause for purely political purposes”.
