Achieving a new victory, the presidential majority managed to largely unite the National Assembly this Tuesday March 13 around the strategic agreement reached between Paris and kyiv on February 16.
In all, 372 deputies spoke in favor of the text while 99 opposed it.
If all the rebellious and communist deputies voted against, the Lepenist troops simply abstained, as announced earlier by Jordan Bardella.

“The masks have fallen”
A decision which delights the presidential camp, which has been working since the start of its European campaign to demonstrate the ambiguities of the National Rally (RN) towards Russia.
The debate on France's support for Ukraine should precisely be an opportunity to put everyone's positions out in the open.
The bet is therefore successful for the former minister and deputy of Paris, Clément Beaune.
“
It was a moment of clarity and unity.
The masks have somehow fallen
,” he rejoiced before insisting on the success of the vote.
“
What is important is that there was broad support not only from the majority but also from the PS, environmentalists, Republicans
,” he underlined.
First concentrating his charge against La France insoumise (LFI), the elected official from Paris estimated that the vote of the rebellious group “
is not a complete surprise
”.
“
They have always been, with
Jean
-Luc Mélenchon
, nostalgic for the USSR and totally pro-Putin
,” he said, incisively.
And to divert his attacks towards the party with the flame: “
The RN too, it is almost worse because they have added hypocrisy to dishonor.
They abstained.
When we talk about subjects as important as the security of our country, the security of Europe, support for Ukraine, we can think nothing, say nothing?
», he pretended to wonder to better point out the ambivalence of the Lepenists.
“
It shows the truth
,” he argued.
“The RN is a party of nothing”
The one who already considered the RN in 2022 as “
political enemy number one”
, continued his charge against the number one in European polls.
“
The RN is a party of nothing, of no vagueness, of emptiness.
Because they are so afraid of saying something that might upset good polls, popularity, etc., that they don't want to say anything.
But when we want to lead the country one day, govern Europe and bring France back into Europe, that’s their slogan, we still have to think something and say something and take our risks
,” he said. -He denounces.
To further dent the credibility of the frontists, the former Minister of Transport almost came to give good points to La France insoumise for its supposed transparency: “
At least LFI, they were clear, I am radically opposed to their positions.
They said “we are basically pro Putin”.
It's clear, it's simple.
