The covidosceptic deputy Martine Wonner, excluded from her group in the National Assembly after remarks calling for "invading" the offices of parliamentarians, said Wednesday she was preparing to launch her own "movement".

The official creation of this "apolitical and citizen movement", called "Together for freedoms", is in its "home stretch", said the deputy for Bas-Rhin during a press conference at the Palais Bourbon.

It will be addressed "to all these French citizens who can not take it any longer," added this ex-member of the Freedoms and Territories group and previously LREM.

"I think that one of the first things that should be done would be to dissolve the political parties," added the now non-attached member, who was not wearing a mask, contrary to the recommendations of the President of the Assembly.

"The citizens would finally be heard" if the parliamentarians "did not think above all about their ego and their career", she continued.

Ms. Wonner also reconsidered her remarks, urging protesters against the health pass on Saturday in Paris to "seat parliamentarians" and "invade their offices" to express their disagreement.

"I accept my words," said the MP, while again explaining that they had been "taken out of context".

She explained that she was addressing, in the effervescence of a demonstration, protesters who asked how to challenge their elected officials.

In a quieter environment, "I might not have used those terms like that," she said, adding that "any form of violence is unacceptable."

These remarks, while deputies report intimidation or death threats from opponents of the health pass, have earned him many criticisms and a request for referral to justice from the boss of deputies LREM Christophe Castaner.

The elected, trained psychiatrist, also reiterated her attacks on the health pass - "the pass of shame" - and the "liberticidal" measures of the anti-Covid bill under consideration in the Assembly and the Senate .

The government's “forced passage” is a “clearly unconstitutional process,” she said.
