But the solemn atmosphere did not last in the hemicycle.

From the opening of the session, the majority and the opposition tore themselves apart with very muscular exchanges.

Right and far right consider insufficient the actions of the government against radical Islamism and booed Prime Minister Jean Castex. 

"The Republic of 'no wave' is the Republic which abdicates"

Enough resignation and culpable surrender!

The Republic of 'no wave' is the Republic which abdicates and which in the end (sic) lets the Islamists pass, "tackled the leader of deputies LR Damien Abad." They have passed, and for three years, your majority refused any proposal against radical Islamism. "

"Let us never forget [...]. Not to forget is above all not to forget to act: the Republic of 'no waves' is the Republic which, in the end, lets the Islamists pass" affirms @damienabad (LR).

He asks the Gvt to "move from words to deeds".

"We are in the action", retorts Castex

While the LR deputies slammed their desks in protest, the Prime Minister replied with hoots: "Really, any opportunity is seized in this period of crisis to fuel the controversy. You are in the incantation, we are in the action". 

Jean-Luc Mélenchon says he is "alongside" the Prime Minister

In an electric atmosphere, some group presidents, however, said they did not want to play the game of the division, like the leader of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

"We, Mr. Prime Minister, we say to your side to tell the enemies of the Republican homeland 'you do not scare us'".

"Political Islamism and terrorism had the same objective: to create fear and by the same to begin to impose its law" assures @JLMelenchon (FI).

"It is civil peace that is at stake, each of us is a bulwark against hatred" he affirms.
