Larcher rejects the Epstein inquiry committee in the Senate

2.6M

Triggered by 17 majority senators to shed light on the ramifications of the Epstein affair, the request for a parliamentary inquiry committee was rejected by Gérard Larcher, in line with Yaël Braun-Pivet. A definitive halt that is raising questions at the Palais du Luxembourg: why refuse a parliamentary oversight tool on a file that has shaken global opinion? Between institutional caution and suspicions of opacity, the decision is not going unnoticed.
Several elected officials are pointing to a disturbing political signal, even as letters and evidence had begun to circulate within the Upper House. Implicitly, the question remains: should Parliament fully take hold of such matters or defer to other channels?
