He had treated the Insoumise deputy Mathilde Panot of "fishmonger" in the hemicycle.

The LREM deputy for Vendée Pierre Henriet received a financial penalty on Tuesday.

In a conference of the presidents of parliamentary groups, the president of the Assembly Richard Ferrand (LREM) indicated to have "applied" to Pierre Henriet a "call to order with entry in the minutes", that is to say the deprivation for one month of the quarter of the parliamentary allowance allocated to the deputy.

Frequent overflows in the hemicycle

"There is no saint or martyr around the table," however, stressed the President of the Assembly in the presence of Mathilde Panot, condemning more broadly the "overflows of language", "on numerous occasions. , on behalf of deputies from several groups from the start of the legislature ”, including rebels.

The holder of the perch has listed a series of insulting remarks since 2017, such as a "facho" launched by the communist Stéphane Peu to the unregistered close to the RN Emmanuelle Ménard, a "sold" released by the LR Fabien Di Filippo to the ex-Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, or even a “mogul” addressed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon to the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin and a “Machine” Schiappa to the Deputy Minister Marlène Schiappa.

Sanctions now systematic

Richard Ferrand also cited a "slippage" by Mathilde Panot on the social network Twitter, "when she mentioned" La Macronie recycling its waste ", on the occasion of the election of M. (the former minister of 'Interior Christophe) Castaner at the head of the group La République en Marche ”.

"It is immature and hypocritical to claim the status of victim when you yourself are used to the attack", slipped Richard Ferrand, according to reported comments.

The President of the Assembly indicated that he would not let "anything more pass in the hemicycle".

He will thus sanction "in the same way all verbal excesses wherever they come from".

Treated as a “fishmonger” on February 2, Mathilde Panot had demanded “apologies” and “sanction” after this “sexist insult”.

"If she feels wrongly insulted, I beg her to excuse me," reacted Pierre Henriet, while denying any sexism and reproaching Mathilde Panot for "shouting on the platform and cutting off".
