French MP Thomas Portes Sanctioned for Threatening Remarks

The Assembly's disciplinary action follows Portes' fourth sanction since 2022 for his conduct in the chamber.

The French National Assembly sanctioned Thomas Portes with a formal reprimand and a reduction of his parliamentary salary by 25% for a month.
Portes, an LFI deputy, made threatening remarks towards RN members during a session on October 30, 2024.
The incident was widely shared on social media, drawing criticism from various political figures.
Yaël Braun-Pivet, the Assembly's president, emphasized the need for deputies to uphold exemplary conduct.
This marks the fourth time Portes has faced disciplinary action since entering the Assembly in June 2022.
