The group La Répubique en Marche (LREM) in the National Assembly excluded, on Wednesday, the deputy Martine Wonner, the only elected LREM to have voted against the strategy of deconfinement of the government, indicated the majority group.
"Martine Wonner, alone in her case, has decided to free herself from the principle of solidarity with the government", while "the deconfinement plan represents a crucial moment for our country", believes the LREM group.
MP denounces "the lack of a therapeutic strategy"
"This vote is part of a long succession of public statements by Martine Wonner expressing her distrust of the government and her criticism of her health policy. Consequently, after having heard it (by videoconference) today, the LREM group's office, in application of its regulations, has decided to exclude it ”, add the“ walkers ”.
Psychiatrist by profession, the member for Bas-Rhin is in favor of the controversial use of chloroquine in the face of the coronavirus, with her collective Let the doctors prescribe. She had "regretted the absence of any therapeutic strategy", by announcing her vote against the government plan on April 28 in the Assembly.
Fourth exclusion pronounced
After his exclusion, LREM and related deputies now have 296 members, against 314 at the start of the legislature, while the absolute majority is at 289 seats. This is the fourth exclusion pronounced by the group after those of Sébastien Nadot (vote against the budget), Agnès Thill (for his hostility to PMA for all and comments deemed "pernicious") and Sabine Thillaye (for a refusal to give up his post at the head of the European Affairs Committee).
About fifteen deputies also left the group voluntarily, because of disagreements on the political line, on the municipal ones, or to contest the use of 49-3 during the examination of the controversial pension reform.
