A French MP is banned from the assembly for 15 days over a controversial tweet

The National Assembly on Friday suspended for 15 days LFI MP Thomas Portes, author of a controversial tweet about Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt that caused an uproar in the Chamber.

Amid protests from the Insoumis, MPs voted by sit-stand after a session of the assembly’s bureau that proposed the sanction.

This is the most severe disciplinary punishment for MPs.

The debates on pension reform must continue in the evening.
