Christophe Castaner went up the straps of LREM deputies this Tuesday morning, on the occasion of their weekly group meeting.
It must be said that the majority was hot last week, narrowly avoiding a resounding quack during the vote on first reading of the bill "on various provisions for health vigilance".
"We almost lost on Article 2 following a curtain blow," recalled the president of the LREM group.

Hence the thinly veiled threat of retaliatory measures.
"We will also integrate the real presence on the choice of QAG
