2024 Legislative Elections: Yaël Braun-Pivet is re-elected
(franceinfo)
Yaël Braun-Pivet was re-elected as head of the National Assembly on Thursday, July 18, a little before 9 p.m., after three rounds. The left is up in arms against this re-election, won thanks to a game of alliances with the right.
In a more fractured hemicycle than ever, on Thursday July 18, Yaël Braun-Pivet, recently re-elected, called for unity. “We have to get along, we have to cooperate, we have to be able to seek compromises”she declares. But while the president of the National Assembly evokes the massive vote of the French, the rebellious Sophia Chikirou interrupts her. “The French did not vote for you”she throws at him.
On the left, re-election is not going well. “The vote for Yaël Braun-Pivet, which is a victory that resonates like a failure, is a terrible signal for the democracy of our country”denounced the rebellious elected representative Mathilde Panot. André Chassaigne, candidate of the New Popular Front who lost by 13 votes, castigated a “denial of democracy” and an “unnatural alliance” between the Republicans and the Macronists. The left, which is struggling to nominate a common candidate, now fears that other alliances will claim Matignon.
