Macronists, the Right and the National Rally join forces to create a commission of inquiry into the links between La France Insoumise and the Islamists

"Wauquism" is wreaking havoc again. This time, Laurent Wauquiez isn't targeting foreigners under OQTF (Foreign Detention Order) whom he wants to imprison in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. The president of the misnamed Republican Right group is now targeting a political opponent. His parliamentary commission of inquiry into the alleged "links" between La France Insoumise and Islamist networks has been validated by the National Assembly, via its Law Commission.

It had been ruled inadmissible on June 3 , but by returning to the charge, Laurent Wauquiez pulled off his low blow by just two votes (29 for and 27 against). This was thanks to the alliance of votes between the Macronists, the right, and the National Rally. "The authors replaced the seven references to La France Insoumise (in the explanatory statement, editor's note) with more general phrases. However, the allusions remain transparent and still allow for the identification of a party and parliamentarians," assures the Green rapporteur Pouria Amirshahi, who wanted to make this commission obsolete.

La France Insoumise has decided to treat this new outrage with contempt and has not sent an official press release. But LFI MP Gabrielle Cathala, during the commission of inquiry's examination, attacked Laurent Wauquiez and his party, which claims, according to MP Vincent Jeanbrun, to "unmask the enemies of the Republic." " The attitude and program of the Republicans have nothing to envy from the National Rally, " she said. "The decline in purchasing power, growing inequality, the destruction of hospitals and education, declining democracy, climate inaction, the fight against violence against women, corruption at the highest levels of government, France's international relegation, the increase in racist acts—the concerns of the French people that deserve commissions of inquiry—can wait."

" We are here so that politicians can incriminate other politicians, who will themselves be in the commission that will try to separate the wheat from the chaff," worried centrist Paul Molac (Liot). "We are in a bit of a mess after all ." How can we blame him?
