The parliamentary oppositions accuse Thursday the patroness of the deputies Renaissance Aurore Bergé of "recovering" the drama of Annecy. The deputy of the tenth constituency of Yvelines has asked that "humanity" take precedence over debates on pensions.

The stabbing attack, which left six people injured, including four children, came as the National Assembly was debating a proposal to repeal retirement at age 64. Many MPs from all sides denounced the Annecy attack, and the Assembly observed a minute's silence.
