Ties cause division in the French parliament
The President of the French National Assembly, Yael Bron-Bivet, reminded deputies of the need to adopt a correct style of clothing, as the debate over the placement of ties divides the right and left deputies.
"We can't come to the National Assembly in the dress we want. The rules of the National Assembly say we have to wear work-style uniforms," Bron Bivier, a member of French President Emmanuel Macron's party, said in a television interview.
She added: "When you enter the National Assembly under the dome of Parliament, you no longer represent yourself, you are elected officials of the nation and represent the French, so you must always think that the French should be proud of you."
And she continued, "I am not here to play the role of a dressed policeman in the parliament, I trust parliamentarians."
Parliamentary debates in recent days turned into arguments over the dress code, after right-wing MP Renaud Muselier criticized the behavior of the Left Alliance deputies in the National Assembly, and another right-wing MP, Eric Ciotti, demanded a commitment to put a tie under the parliament.
The group of "Rebel France" (the radical left) deputies responded by saying that "clothes do not make a representative".
A member of the "France Rebellion" movement called Louis Boyar to "ban high-priced fashion", expressing his regret that some deputies allow themselves to wear clothes at more and more exorbitant prices under the dome of Parliament.
