A far-right MP denies telling a black colleague to 'go back to Africa' as he talks about immigration.
The French parliament was brought to a halt after a far-right MP shouted "They should go back to Africa" as a black colleague talked about immigration.
The National Assembly's bureau would meet on Friday and decide on the "necessary sanction", the liberal politician told reporters. When Mr de Fournas made his remark, the Speaker, Yael Braun-Pivet, demanded to know who had spoken. Then, as MPs chanted "Out! Out! Out!", she suspended the session, declaring, "This is not possible."
Mr de Fournas tried to defend himself, saying he had been referring to the "boat transporting migrants to Europe" but he later apologised to Mr Bilongo for "the misunderstanding" his comments had caused and if he had been hurt by them.
