A scene of chaos in France's National Assembly forced the president of the lower house of the French Parliament, Yaël Braun-Pivet, to suspend the legislative session. A far-right lawmaker in France responded to a Black lawmaker's question about migrants stranded at sea by apparently saying, “Let them return to Africa.” Reacting to the event, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said that “racism has no place in our democracy.”
