The parliamentary commission requested by the presidential majority to study the “violent illicit demonstrations” after the clashes against the megabasins will be extended to the demonstrations of May 1st.
The future parliamentary commission of inquiry into “violent illicit demonstrations”, requested by the presidential majority, will also focus on the mobilization of May 1, which gave rise to numerous clashes, the deputies voted in committee on Wednesday.
The National Assembly must approve next Wednesday the launch of this commission of inquiry, which was initiated by the deputies Renaissance and Horizons after the series of demonstrations against the pension reform and that against the mega-basins in Sainte-Soline, in the Two -Sevres.
Extended field of inquiry
Its field of investigation initially extended from March 16, the day of the triggering of the constitutional weapon of 49.3 to pass the pension reform, to April 4, the date of the filing of the request. On Wednesday, the Law Commission postponed the date to May 3.
It is a question of studying “the structuring, the financing, the means and the methods of action of the small groups responsible for violence during the demonstrations” over the period, as well as “the progress” of these demonstrations.
A total of 540 people were arrested in France, including 305 in Paris, during the demonstrations on May 1, according to the Ministry of the Interior. 406 police and gendarmes and 61 demonstrators were injured.
The meeting of deputies on Wednesday morning was itself stormy, the elected officials LFI, PCF and EELV accusing the majority of pouring into “arbitrariness” and “serving the soup for the RN”. The rapporteur Florent Boudié (Renaissance) defended himself, arguing that his text did not refer to any political or union formation, and saying he was fed up with “anathemas”.
