Tumult in French parliament over Palestinian flag, clothing • FRANCE 24 English

[Applause] I see everyone’s clothes I believe it is necessary to remember that we are in the National Assembly the colors of the Palestinian flag in the French Parliament the Israel Palestine conflict was once again brought to the Forefront at A T National Assembly on Tuesday leftwing MPS from the green communist and lais parties dressed in green white red and black to represent the pal flag this symbol is to say that we will not stop until France as a sign of Peace recognizes the state of Palestine until France decrees an arms embargo against netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government we will not stop until there is a permanent ceire in Gaza to protect the Palestinian people radical leftwing lawmaker rashelle K also stood up and waved her own Palestinian flag during government’s questions the president of the National Assembly sanctioned her and temporarily suspended the session the group’s actions were immediately criticized by the right the unbelievable butchering of the extreme left they are doing it to create a buzz and to try to win a few more votes in the European elections it’s the second time that this has happened in the French Parliament MP Sebastian Dagu waved the Palestinian flag at the same session last week he was suspended for two weeks and has had his parliamentary allowance cut in half for the next two months

The French parliament erupted in tumult on Tuesday as a hard-left lawmaker stood up with a Palestinian flag, a week after another deputy was temporarily suspended for doing so. Rachel Keke, a member of parliament for the France Unbowed (LFI) party from the Paris region, brandished the flag at the start of a session of questions to government in the lower house. She stood up amid a flood of Green, Communist and LFI lawmakers who had dressed in green, white, red and black for the occasion and arranged their seating so that from afar they looked like the Palestinian flag.
