Even as President Emmanuel Macron's executive power was again used to push through a budget plan opposed by a majority of the National Assembly Macron's minority faction found an issue to distract from its heavy-handed approach to passing laws.

                                                "Racism"

A debate about a migrant boat in the Mediterranean and whether France should help the migrants distracted when a National Rally member of the National Assembly, Gregoire de Fournas, interrupted a speech by a LFI (Left) Deputy who is black.

de Fournas saying according to a search engine translation:

                                 "that he returns to Africa"

Mr. de Fournas saying he meant the boat not the man in question fellow legislator Carlos Martens Bilongo.

Quick denunciations from the government faction and the "Left" and Les Republicains factions as well.

Maximum punishment imposed on de Fournas his parliamentary allowance halved for two months along with a 15-day ban from the National Assembly.

Commenting on the situation the National Assembly leader in the National Assembly Marine Le Pen sees a 'clumsiness' in his remarks but decries the level of punishment handed out.

MEANWHILE INCREASINGLY EMPTY SHELVES IN FRENCH SUPERMARKETS PUNCTUATED BY SHORTAGES OF SALAD DRESSINGS AND MUSTARD AMONG OTHER PRODUCTS.
