In front of the Assembly, Gilles Le Gendre accosted Aymeric Caron, Wednesday, at the start of the afternoon.
L'Insoumis has barely recovered from his painful failure of the morning.
In the law commission, a majority of deputies rejected his bill to abolish bullfighting throughout France.
The son-in-law, who is familiar with him, pats him on the shoulder as if to console him.
The Renaissance deputy from Paris, who voted for the amendments aimed at deleting the only article from the text, actually wishes to provide him with his advice.
“In your introduction,
he told her,
you had to seduce and you robbed.
Your arguments were perfect but you went there so stiffly that you even tipped votes against your interests!”

Facing him, Caron struggles to keep a good countenance.
After the departure of his colleague from the majority, the Insoumis takes his interlocutors to witness.
He is furious:
“What are these lessons in radicalism?
Others before me, centrists, ecologists, have tried to get rid of this scandalous emergency law and no one has succeeded, no one!
I am the only one to have been to the law commission and nothing has yet been said about the vote for next week…”
During the debates in session, the exchanges - muscular - gave a foretaste of what awaits the antispeciesist parliamentarian in public session, Thursday, November 24, during the LFI parliamentary niche.
“You are a stereotype on your own.
You are looking for the sensational with no desire to take a step back.
It's problematic”
, for example slammed MP LR Anne-Laure Blin.
Same opinion on the side of the majority troops, divided on the subject but who of course have the will of the government to oppose this bill.
“You made the choice of radicalism and caricature
,” rebuked the elected Renaissance Marie Lebec.
The polls are eloquent, without ambiguity.
The French no longer want these despicable practices
Aymeric Caron.
But even in the ranks of the left, the proposal is not unanimous.
"In my constituency, there are arenas, bullfights, bullfighting games and I believe that there are no barbarians"
, notably reprimanded the Communist deputy Pierre Dharréville.
Within the Socialist Group too, there are differences on the subject.
“There is no majority that has emerged to such an extent that we have decided to allow freedom to vote
,” argued PS MP Cécile Untermaier during the discussions.
Aymeric Caron, he does not take off his defeat
"against the bullfighting lobby"
, he accuses.
"It was played out very little
, he said,
but it is proof that it is really difficult to move the lines in this country."
And to add:
“The polls are eloquent, without ambiguity.
The French no longer want these despicable practices.
What struck me was the poor quality of the debate.
And I don't want to waste my time talking to dishonest people..."

The future of the text, which nevertheless seemed quite consensual in the majority a few weeks ago - the president of the Renaissance group, Aurore Bergé, and its vice-president, Sylvain Maillard, being favorable to it -, therefore seems more than ever uncertain .
Especially since his fourth position in the LFI parliamentary niche may not allow the discussions to come to an end.
And that some deputies are already threatening to
“filibuster”
to prolong the debates.
