And to conclude: “So we obviously ask the Prime Minister to return to this decision. Frankly, finding a few hours to debate in the National Assembly is nothing at all. We are able to paralyze here with endless debates on subjects that have neither tail nor head, and we would be unable to debate human life and an in progress genocide. Frankly, this answer is incomprehensible. »»
