Le Pen's party in Parliament: Right accuses MP of being "Germany's agent".

It should be about the outcome of the French EU Council Presidency.

But when the rapporteur for the European Committee appeared before the MEPs on Thursday morning, the Rassemblement National (RN) group began to boo.

"Agent of Germany" and "representative of the Bundestag" resounded from the ranks around Marine Le Pen to the deputy Charles Sitzenstuhl from the government faction Renaissance.

The people's representative from Alsace justified himself in front of the parliament: "I am a member of the National Assembly with French citizenship and not a representative of the Bundestag!" Afterwards Sitzenstuhl lamented "an insult to Alsace and its painful history".

The Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Jean-Louis Bourlanges, commented: "In the eyes of the Rassemblement National, Alsace is not French, it is German."

For the former vice-president of the Franco-German parliamentary assembly, Christophe Arend, the incident shows above all how derogatory the RN deputies look at the Bundestag.

"So nothing new," said Arend.

When he helped prepare the Aachen Treaty of Friendship, Marine Le Pen claimed that the aim was to sell Alsace and the Moselle department to Germany.

"Always the same rancid extreme right," protested Renaissance MP Brigitte Klinkert.
