This is a difficult setback for the patroness of the Renaissance deputies, Aurore Bergé, at the origin of the text.
Especially since the elected representative of Yvelines had to defend him at the podium despite the strong protests of the opposition, raised against the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, and the two arms of honor he addressed to the president. of the LR Olivier Marleix group.
A gesture for which the Keeper of the Seals expressed regret and presented his "
apologies
", after several suspensions of the session.

opportunism
” of the Renaissance bill for which they were united.
A text that Aurore Bergé had filed in reaction to the first speech of Adrien Quatennens, recently returned to the hemicycle after several months of withdrawal linked to his conviction for domestic violence against his future-ex-wife.

This text is yet another communication blow from the majority following the conviction of one of our colleagues
”, notably estimated the boss of the right-wing deputies, Olivier Marleix, at the podium.
“
We should not approach the revocation mandate
“, warned for his part, Laurence Vichnievsky, elected MoDem, indicating that the centrist group would vote”
mainly against this bill.
As for the philippist from Horizons, Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback, she underlined all the “
reserve
” of her colleagues.
While she was responding to the various group interventions, Aurore Bergé was cut off several times by the Insoumise MP Danièle Obono.
Visibly moved, with trembling hands, the leader of the Renaissance group then defended herself from any "
instrumentalization
" of the subject.
"
I know what I'm talking about, Madame Obono!"
Nobody knows here the intimacy of what we can experience or what we have experienced.
But yes, I know exactly what I'm talking about when I talk about domestic violence!
“, she hammered, to the applause of the benches of the majority.
“
Hearing with each intervention a questioning of the sincerity which is mine on this fight, I cannot continue to let it pass.
“, she concluded.
Without however succeeding in bringing everyone back to their positions.
In detail, the RN group and LFI voted against.
The Republicans voted overwhelmingly against the text (only 4 abstentions), as did the MoDem group (20 against, 2 for and 2 abstentions) and Horizons.
