They say they discovered it by chance.
The fact-finding mission of the National Assembly on the management of the Covid-19 epidemic ended on Wednesday after a vote.
“The majority dissolves the fact-finding mission on Covid_19.
By an institutional coup de force, En Marche chose to sit on the control of the action of the executive.
It's a real scandal! ”
, criticized LR deputy Eric Ciotti on Twitter.
Until December 2 - date on which the conclusions of the work were submitted - the elected representative of the Alpes-Maritimes was the rapporteur of the commission of inquiry on the management of the health crisis.
This was then to be transformed into a fact-finding mission, with no scheduled end date, to be able to continue its hearings - without benefiting from the power of inquiry - throughout this crisis which is struggling to end.
"It was to make it possible to make progress reports, in particular on the vaccination campaign"
, explains the boss of LR deputies, Damien Abad, who denounces to the
Figaro
"a democratic lockdown"
.
"The government wants to stop the mission, which would deprive the National Assembly of any power to control and provide information on the health crisis
," he added on Twitter, while the Palais Bourbon voted last week the extension of the state of health emergency, which allows the executive to impose restrictions as it sees fit as the crisis evolves.
"The majority will ask for a 'Covid-19 crisis' debate body"
Targeted by the right-wing opposition, the presidential majority is defending itself.
“It is the usual cinema of the oppositions, who have often used this commission as a political scene.
Inquiry committees and fact-finding missions are temporary, that's parliamentary life.
There is no doubt that after 14 years in the Assembly, Eric Ciotti knows it better than anyone, ”
explains the president of the LREM group, Christophe Castaner, interviewed by
Le Figaro
.
"
The mission has completed the work that was requested of it,
" adds LREM deputy Anne Genetet on social networks.
The elected French
citizen
abroad also assures that her Macronist colleague Julien Borowczyk, who chaired the commission of inquiry, was going to
"request a forum for 'Covid-19 crisis' debate"
.
As for the marchers, we also note that the Parliament's standing committees regularly hear ministers on the management of the crisis.
