Two weeks later The start of the text examination in the National Assembly, The deputies voted this Tuesday, May 27, in favor of the text creating a « Right to help die » To 305 votes for, 199 votes against and 57 abstentions. A few minutes before, the Law text relating to palliative care had been adopted unanimously by the hemicycle, with 560 votes for and 3 abstentions.

If the left voted massively in favor of this text on the end of life, rare elected officials opposed it. Among the Ecolos, this is the case of a single deputy opposed it, as in the GDR group and among the rebellious. If she voted against, the LFI deputy of Paris Sophia Chikirou finally specified in the Assembly that she had wanted « Refrain voluntarily ». Socialists experienced the most important opposition to the left, with four votes against.
