It’s their day. Thursday January 22, Laurent Wauquiez and the Les Républicains (LR) deputies outline the menu on the National Assembly on the event of their parliamentary area of interest. As with the opposite teams, they’re free to alter the order till the final second. Announced as the principle course, the proposed legislation geared toward “prohibit the veiling of minors in public spaces” has been shifted to fifth place (out of ten). Laurent Wauquiez might properly have initiated this proposal, however the elected official from Haute-Loire has measured the chance of an interminable battle of amendments, suspension of periods or recall of laws on such an eruptive topic.

Member of Parliament for Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Pauget salutes the pragmatism of his group chief. “By postponing his proposal, he gives us time to have our first four texts adopted, which would be quite unique for a niche”observes the one who will defend on the opening of the day a proposal for a European decision geared toward encouraging the Council of the European Union to “include the Muslim Brotherhood movement on the European list of terrorist organizations”.

But the elected official desires to be optimistic, his proposed decision was adopted within the Foreign Affairs Committee with the assist specifically of the Horizons group.
