3 November - during the government question period, National Rally deputy Grégoire de Fournas interrupts Black deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo's remarks on the situation of migrants on the SOS Méditerranée ship Ocean Viking, shouting "go back to Africa!" De Fournas's outburst was deemed racist, though it was unclear whether he was referring to Bilongo or the African migrants. The president of the National Assembly suspended parliament. De Fournas received a 15-day ban from the National Assembly and had his pay docked.
