Overview
- During debate on Social Security financing and a proposed suspension of the 2023 pension reform, UDR deputy Gérault Verny told Green MP Sandrine Rousseau to “avoid shouting.”
- Assembly president Yaël Braun-Pivet immediately issued a formal rappel à l'ordre and condemned the remark as a sexist attack.
- Members of the presidential camp and left-wing deputies applauded Braun-Pivet’s intervention and publicly denounced the comment.
- Verny told Le Journal du Dimanche the sanction was unjust and cited a late-October exchange involving LFI deputy Abdelkader Lahmar and UDR MP Hanane Mansouri to claim inconsistent enforcement.
- Clips posted by LCP and BFMTV spread widely on social platforms, and no additional sanctions beyond the reprimand have been reported.
