This apolitical movement must be addressed "to all those French citizens who cannot take it any longer" with the "liberticidal" measures of the bill


She had been removed from her group in the National Assembly after remarks calling on Saturday demonstrators against the health pass to "invade" the offices of parliamentarians.

The Alsatian deputy Martine Wonner intends to launch her own “apolitical and citizen movement”.

The official creation of “Together for freedoms” is in its “home stretch”, declared the elected representative of Bas-Rhin during a press conference at the Palais Bourbon.

It will be addressed to “all these French citizens who cannot take it any longer,” added this ex-member of the Freedom and Territories group excluded Sunday and previously LREM.

"I think that one of the first things that should be done would be to dissolve the political parties," added the now non-attached member, who was not wearing a mask, contrary to the recommendations of the President of the Assembly.

"The citizens would finally be heard" if the parliamentarians "did not think above all about their ego and their career", she continued, then the deputies began the examination of the bill extending the health pass.

Protesters gathered in front of the Bourbon Palace to mark their rejection of the project.

The forced passage is "unconstitutional"

Martine Wonner also returned to her remarks, urging the demonstrators against the health pass on Saturday in Paris to "make the seat of parliamentarians" and "invade their offices" to express their disagreement.

“I take my words,” said the MP, while again explaining that they had been “taken out of context”.

She explained that she was addressing, in the effervescence of a demonstration, protesters who asked how to challenge their elected officials.

In a quieter environment, “I might not have used those terms like that”, she said, adding that “any form of violence is unacceptable”.

These remarks, while deputies report intimidation or death threats from opponents of the health pass, have earned him many criticisms and a request for referral to justice from the boss of deputies LREM Christophe Castaner.
