As a preamble to his intervention in the National Assembly, the Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer (who played rugby for a long time as a scrum half) announced the disappearance of Christophe Dominici from the Hemicycle.
"I share with you my great emotion on learning of the tragic death of a legend of the XV of France, so young."
As soon as these words were said, the deputies stood up and applauded.
Very moved, Mr. Blanquer assured that "we will surely pay him great tributes".
