Always in search of respectability and legitimacy, the National Rally wants to take advantage of its parliamentary niche, scheduled for October 12 in the Assembly, to take up a “societal subject”. The far-right deputies will present the texts selected for this day on Tuesday morning, but an internal source confirms that a proposed law from Jean-Philippe Tanguy on endometriosis will be one of them.
The deputy for Somme wants to “support women who suffer from endometriosis”, a chronic disease which affects between 1.5 and 2.5 million women in France and results in painful periods, but also sometimes digestive heaviness, urinary, lumbar, in the legs…
This relative of Marine Le Pen asks to grant this illness the status of “exempt” long-term illness (ALD), “fully covered by health insurance”. It also intends to “recognize women who are victims of endometriosis and who express the need” as “disabled workers”.
No decree yet to implement the 2022 resolution
The far-right party also wants to take advantage of this to put in difficulty the other forces of the National Assembly, who had unanimously voted for a proposed resolution from the rebellious Clémentine Autain, on the same subject, in January 2022. Until now, the Assembly has always rejected the RN’s legislative proposals, which hopes to record a first success with this theme defended by all political sides.
For Clémentine Autain, the RN is carrying out a “crude operation” with this text, “a smokescreen to try to confuse the ideological position of the RN” and “correct its image”, she castigated in a interview at The Obs. “I recall that Marine Le Pen and her friends fought (in 2022) against the extension of the time limit for resorting to abortion”, from twelve to fourteen weeks of pregnancy and “that they defended a natalist vision in the debate on pensions. They are not in any fight for women’s freedoms,” believes the LFI elected official.
On endometriosis, “I call on the Minister of Health Aurélien Rousseau to take his responsibilities. I sent him a letter on Tuesday asking him to take urgent action. He has the power to pull the rug out from under the RN and can issue a decree in accordance with the resolution adopted unanimously by the National Assembly in January 2022,” called Clémentine Autain.
