Résumé 0

Exchanges of insults are rare in the European Parliament. The process of self-rationalization that presided over the rise of the institution affects all interactions between parliamentariansincluding the civility of their exchanges. Yet, as in all parliamentary institutions, insult remains possible because of pluralism and publicity. Through the analysis of certain mediatized episodes, the contribution highlights factors more specific to the European Parliament likely to generate verbal tension, namely: the presence of Eurosceptic representatives, the lack of cultural agreement on what can be said, the multiplicity of traditions of political rhetoric and the defence of certain European taboos such as peace and the usefulness of Parliament.
