In this new-look Assembly, which has three or four main colors, we find this Thursday a classic left-right opposition on the occasion of the parliamentary niche of the RN.

It must be said that the subject is almost as old as the Fifth Republic itself, and comes up almost every term: the school uniform, yes or no?

This question “crosses all political currents because it is common sense”, estimated on RFI the deputy Rassemblement national Laurent Jacobelli, for whom “it makes it possible not to display social differences”.

And that allows him to "fight against a form of attack on secularism today led mainly by radical Islam".

Proof that this question goes beyond traditional divisions, the RN finds allies on this question on the right as well as within the presidential group.

The right and Renaissance seduced by the idea of ​​the RN

Senator Les Républicains Bruno Retailleau assured Thursday in a tweet that it was "a cause on which we can find ourselves".

“To preserve our children, both from communitarianism and from consumerism.

We will bring such a proposal very soon to the Senate, ”he explained.

On the Renaissance side, whose group is currently studying the possibility of drafting a bill (PPL) in favor of the uniform, opinions are divided.

Brigitte Macron spoke out in favor of the return of the uniform to school (in reality, it was never compulsory even if the blouse was a garment of disparate quality and colors, widely used to protect clothes ink stains) in an interview with

Le Parisien

Thursday, believing that it “erases the differences, we save time (…) and money – compared to brands”.

Asked about Sud Radio, the deputy Sacha Houlié, said he was "deeply opposed".

“It brings no measure of equality, no (and) in terms of secularism, this fairly severe and definitive measure, will encourage high school and college students to do the exact opposite”, he argued.

RN president Jordan Bardella clarified on LCI that the RN group would vote for the Renaissance PPL if it arrived in the hemicycle.



“What INSEE shows us is that there is a non-mixed school which is taking place (and which) is worsening and deepening”, refuted the deputy LFI Alexis Corbière Thursday on France 2. “20% of children are in private establishments (and) the social positioning index shows that the private sector accommodates the most privileged categories”.

"It's not because you wear the same T-shirt and the same skirt that you solve the problem", he decided.

“To reduce educational inequalities, there is no need to create a uniform, just need to invest massively in public schools, pay teachers correctly,” tweeted environmental MP Sandrine Rousseau.
