Nasss explained that the person concerned had abstained because the text was being rewritten in the National Assembly by the right and the far right, and therefore did not know its final version. According to Nasss, she had requested that the two subjects be separated and that the concerned mention be removed in order to vote only on female genital mutilation, but the opposition had refused. Nasss believed that a favorable vote would have led to approving a rewritten text whose content was uncertain, while a vote against could have made her appear in favor of female genital mutilation. #Politique #AssembléeNationale #Excision (translated)
