The successive attacks by Meyer Habib, Éric Dupond-Moretti and Élisabeth Borne on the National Assembly provoked the indignation of the Nup


Outcry in the National Assembly.

Tuesday, the attacks of several members of the government caused the departure of the hemicycle of deputies LFI, furious to be accused half-words of anti-Semitism.

How did we come to this?

Explanations.

What happened on Tuesday?

“In 2022, the new anti-Semitism is still present in France, especially on the left of this hemicycle, with the Islamo-leftists.

These words signed Meyer Habib, deputy for the 8th constituency of French people living abroad, launched the sequence.

In his sights: the New Popular and Ecological and Social Union (Nupes), and more particularly La France Insoumise.

The MP then addressed the government and mentioned the perpetrators of the Rue des Rosiers attack in 1982. Response from Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti: “A quick word to the far left… Corbyn, apartheid, the words you chose to comment on the speech of the President of the Republic, these words stick to your skin.

»

Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne then dealt the coup de grace by responding to the leader of the socialist group Boris Vallaud, who considered the minister's attack "unwelcome".

“We know that you are Republicans and that you defend the fight against anti-Semitism like us, but that is not the case for everyone on these benches,” she lambasted, targeting LFI.

Where do these accusations of anti-Semitism come from?

This anti-Semitism described by Habib came back into the news through a resolution initiated by Jean-Paul Lecoq, communist deputy re-elected in 2022. This, signed by 37 Nupe deputies on July 13, condemned the "apartheid regime". of Israel against the Palestinians, "an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by a single racial group".

The text had caused controversy on the left and provoked a series of condemnations of associations.

Invited on the set of BFMTV in the process, Meyer Habib, deputy close to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had in particular denounced an extreme left with a "false humanist nose" and explained that Israel "had nothing to to do with an apartheid regime".

He notably took the example of the Arab deputies who sit in Parliament, the Knesset.

In addition to this resolution on "apartheid", Éric Dupond-Moretti refers to the presence of the former British Labor leader from 2015 to 2019, Jeremy Corbyn, accused of being lax against anti-Semitism, with LFI candidates during the campaign for legislative.

Danielle Simonnet and Danièle Obono, candidates under the Nupes banner, had indeed displayed themselves with him and did not hide it last June: “A lot of emotion and pride to receive, this evening, Jeremy Corbyn, deputy of London", rejoiced Danielle Simonnet.

Already at the time, the former Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, had denounced on RTL a "complicity" of the Nupes "with all that is most nauseating" by condemning "the words and anti-Semitic thought”.

“Solidarity, unity, victory!

✌️ A

If Jeremy Corbyn denies any anti-Semitism, several political positions however mark his career.

He was notably suspended on October 29, 2020, temporarily, from the labor movement after accusations of his non-action against anti-Semitism in the ranks of Labour.

A few years earlier, in 2009, he had also alienated the Jewish community by calling Hezbollah and Hamas "friends", before regretting his remarks seven years later.

How did the Nupes deputies react?

Annoyed by Meyer Habib's first accusations, the Nupes deputies left the hemicycle after Eric Dupond-Moretti's monologue.

They returned at the time of the remarks of Boris Vallaud, deputy of the 3rd district of Landes, who challenged the government and defended that “anti-Semitism is our common fight”.

Before boiling again after the second accusation came from the Prime Minister.

The ecologist Sandrine Rousseau deemed it "unworthy to qualify the LFI deputies as anti-Semitic".

Before continuing: “The trivialization contributes to the spread of anti-Semitism.

The rebel Aymeric Caron demanded an "apology" from the Prime Minister while Raquel Garrido, LFI deputy, played the appeasement card: "If the government thinks that there are anti-Semites in this hemicycle, it they must then be identified and condemned.

For this work, we will be alongside the Keeper of the Seals.

Jérôme Guedj, who had widely criticized the resolution launched by Jean-Paul Lecoq, welcomed the development of Boris Vallaud on his social networks.

This new controversy is reminiscent of that triggered by Mathilde Panot about three weeks ago.

In a tweet published on July 17 on the 80th anniversary of the Vel d'Hiv roundup, the president of the LFI group in the Assembly had mentioned "the collaborationists of the Vichy regime" who "organized the Vel d'Hiv roundup Winter”.

A message that had earned him outraged reactions from the majority.
