Then a second in the wake.

Rarely, the President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, said Friday morning to Jean Castex, during a telephone interview, his "

strong emotion

" and his "

opposition

" to a government initiative.

Namely the creation by the executive of an external commission to rewrite the very controversial article 24 of the law "global security", which frames the diffusion of images of police forces in intervention.

Seen as a bypassing of Parliament, this announcement Thursday evening provoked an explosion in the majority.

According to AFP, the LR president of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, also asked the head of government to “
