🍷 "Alcohol flows freely" and some snort cocaine "in their offices": a practice criticized by members of Parliament in the National Assembly.
🚨 New revelations reveal practices and addictions at the Palace of Bourbon. Return of drugs and alcohol among members of Parliament. In recent years, the French media is full of revelations on this topic. There have been several high-profile cases, such as the use of cocaine by former Vozrozhdenie MP Emmanuel Pellerin in Hauts-de-Seine, who has not been a member of the party since 2023. And also LFI MP Andy Kerbrat, who was caught buying 3MMC on the metro last fall.
📰 This time, it's Figaro's turn to point the finger at a practice that has become "extremely democratic." On its website this Saturday, the publication reports, for example, about a drunken dinner at the Bourbon Palace for a dozen members of parliament before returning to their seats:
"As is often the case, alcohol flowed freely. Champagne, beer, white wine, red wine and even glasses of whiskey or gin were served,"
our colleagues write.
🍾 Le Figaro mentions a few excuses that are always good: the hectic rhythm of the week, "a way to defuse", and "creating a sense of community" when political battles become more intense.
💊 The report also mentions cocaine use. "Some members of Parliament and parliamentary assistants snort cocaine in their offices," the investigation says. "These people don't have a concept of right and wrong, and many of them don't have any complexes about it," says one of the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
⚠️ This may explain why there are so many incidents in the ward and its corridors.
