A few days before the European elections, Jordan Bardella, still at the top of voting intentions, is more than ever the man to take down. His political opponents take up an argument in unison: he would be a “fictitious” MEP according to the rebellious Manon Aubry, always “at the swimming pool”, for the Macronist Sylvain Maillard. The 28-year-old man defended himself on several television sets for having “one of the best attendance rates among French MEPs, with 94% voting attendance”? Is he telling the truth? Video decryption. To verify this assertion, we can rely on data from the Assist.eu platform which measures all the activity of European parliamentarians. The figure of “94% voting attendance” was quickly confirmed. On the other hand, it is below the average for French MEPs which is around 96% voting attendance rate. Another clarification on the attendance rate at plenary sessions is that it only represents a tiny part of the work of deputies in Parliament, around 50 hours per parliamentary year. Most of their work is done upstream with the production of reports, negotiations on work and especially work in committees. Furthermore, MEPs have no real choice but to be present during plenary sessions because this can impact their remuneration. Finally, the Arcadia project, a French site which checks and classifies the data of French MPs, rated the attendance and activity at the top of the European list out of 20. Awarding the worst grade to Jordan Bardella who with an 11/20 was elected “worst student” in the European Parliament. #RN #Bardella #JordanBardella #Europeennes2024 Find the article on our site: https://www.20minutes.fr/politique/4093858-20240604-europeennes-2024-jordan-bardella-mauvais-eleve-parlement 20 Minutes, with you https://www.20minutes.fr Find us on: Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Ma_tete_et_moi/0667753253 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/20minutes Our Chatbot: https:// www.messenger.com/t/20minutes Twitter: https://twitter.com/20Minutes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/20minutesfrance/ Linkedin: (2) 20 Minutes France: my company | LinkedIn Podcast: https://podcasts.20minutes.fr/
