France Unbowed MP Sebastien Delogu waved a Palestinian flag in the French National Assembly during government question time, prompting the session to be suspended by President Yael Braun-Pivet, who condemned the 'unacceptable' behaviour. IMAGES
French parliament suspended lef-wing MP Sebastien Delogu after he held up a Palestinian flag during a heated debate over whether France should recognise Palestinian statehood, in violation of the House's rules. A member of parliament for the radical left France Unbowed (LFI) party from the southern city of Marseille, he has been suspended from the Assembly for two weeks and will lose half of his parliamentary allowance for two months. The sanction recommended by the Assembly's executive committee was approved by the majority, the right and the far right, with the left largely voting against in a "show of hands" in the Chamber.
