Altercation Between Two Deputies at The National Assembly - Paris

Altercation Between Two Deputies at The National Assembly - Paris

Altercation between Modem deputy Nicolas Turquois and Socialist deputy Mickael Bouloux at the Assemblée National in Paris, France on November 28, 2024, as parliamentarians debated the repeal of pension reform. MP Nicolas Turquois almost came to blows last July with RN deputies Jean-Philippe Tanguy and Émeric Salmon. The day ended at midnight without a vote on the text proposing the repeal of the pension reform. Nearly 600 amendments remained to be examined at midnight, the deadline for discussions, the presidential camp having slowed down debates with the stated aim of preventing a vote on this emblematic reform of Emmanuel Macron's term in office.
