1. An opening control device for a door leaf of a motor vehicle comprising:
a base,
a handle lever configured to be pivotally mounted on the base about a handle axis, comprising a main gripping branch and a secondary branch for extending the main branch each located on either side of the handle axis and a center of gravity located on the side of the main branch, one of the two branches forming an actuation branch,
a set of elements, comprising movable element, forming a kinematic chain configured to transmit a movement from the handle lever to a latch of the opening control device to unlock the door leaf, the kinematic chain comprising at least the actuation branch of the handle lever,
an inertial safety member, distinct from the movable elements from the set of elements and the handle lever, comprising a main body forming an inertial mass and a blocking element connected to the body and configured to block by inertial effect the transmission of movement by the kinematic chain,
wherein the inertial safety member is kinematically coupled to the secondary branch of the handle lever and extends on the side of the secondary branch with respect to the handle axis, and
wherein the inertial safety member is movably mounted on a free end of the secondary branch such that the blocking element extends in a longitudinal direction of the secondary branch and the main body extends freely opposite a front end face of the secondary branch.
