Yaël Braun-Pivet denies having asked CRS officers to feed her chickens, but admits having asked them to check "if everything was okay"

"Le Canard enchaîné" claims that the President of the National Assembly had asked the CRS officers guarding her home in Yvelines to feed her chickens while she was on vacation.

"A story about chickens." On Instagram , the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, denied on Thursday, August 14, the information published two days earlier by Le Canard enchaîné , according to which she had asked the CRS who "guard her house in Vésinet" (Yvelines) to "kindly feed her chickens."

"No law enforcement officer was ever tasked with feeding them," the perch holder initially asserted, adding that her son was responsible for this task. But the Macronist MP for Yvelines continued: "As we were all going away for a short period, my husband built an enclosure to shelter the birds and allow them to roam in complete safety, and I asked the CRS to check halfway through to see if everything was okay, my husband being a dunce at DIY."

"Ultimately," Yaël Braun-Pivet claims to have asked to lift the security measures around her home, which she considered "useless and costly" during her absence . " In all this farmyard business, it is a shame that a newspaper should be complacently contributing to conveying a harmful image of political personnel when they are probably the only bird to have gorged themselves," concludes the President of the National Assembly.
