The opportunity for Mathilde Panot to split, this Saturday, July 16, a tweet which made jump many elected or ex-elected of the majority, including several ministers.
“80 years ago, the collaborationists of the Vichy regime organized the roundup of the Vél’ d’Hiv’. Do not forget these crimes, today more than ever, with a President of the Republic who honors Pétain and 89 RN deputies!”, Wrote the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly.

These words immediately electrified members of the government, such as the Minister of Transport Clement Beaune who asks the rebellious to ”[retirer] this message and [présenter ses] apologies to France, quickly”.
“No limit in indecency”, reacted to him the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt, while for the Minister responsible for Equality between women and men Isabelle Romeit is “nausea”.

LFI is no longer an ideological contortion. It is unworthy of the memory of the victims, it is a daughter of hidden children who tells you. https://t.co/YSpxHxKDRk— Emmanuelle Wargon (@EmmWargon) July 16, 2022
What is good with France Insoumise is that we are never disappointed by the level of ignominy.

This is not a skid. This is the consequence of the systematic attitude consisting in making any subject an occasion for conflict, without respect for memory or the Republic. This was theorized by #LFIat the risk of the worst, like here. https://t.co/iQS0vyf20O

So shabby and outrageous! Use the memory of the victims of the roundup #VeldHiv a day of remembrance to play petty politics testifies to a rare mediocrity. https://t.co/aH3EI4wTZK
