The atmosphere became tense this Tuesday in the National Assembly. The former Minister of Solidarity and Families, Aurore Bergé, now MP for Yvelines, spoke on the issue of anti-Semitism in France, after the incidents in Amsterdam and two days before the football match under high security between the France against Israel at the Stade de France. His speech, which followed that of Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, was marked by the heckling of elected officials from La France insoumise.

Aurore Bergé accuses LFI of “placing targets behind the backs” of French people of Jewish faith

“You continue to place targets behind their backs (to French people of Jewish faith, editor’s note). Know that we are more numerous and more determined than you to help the Republic win and to fight against anti-Semitism,” launched Aurore Bergé to the applause of the majority deputies.

It was then that the rebellious Sébastien Delogu came out of his control. “You will end up in the dustbins of History, the dustbins” shouted the elected official from Bouches-du-Rhône towards his colleague from Yvelines before being taken up by the vice-president of the National Assembly, Naïma Moutchou , then to the perch. At the microphone of the show We walk on our heads hosted by Cyril Hanouna, Aurore Bergé returned to this incident, affirming that she did not know if Sébastien Delogu was speaking to her or to the Minister of the Interior who had also just spoken. “Whether it’s me or Bruno Retailleau, it’s intolerable,” she declared on Europe 1.

The LFI deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône had already been noticed for brandishing a Palestinian flag last May, which earned him a two-week exclusion.
