The re-election of Yaël Braun-Pivet as President of the National Assembly on Thursday, July 18, and the composition of the Assembly’s bureau sparked lively debates in the lower house this week.
The outgoing president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, managed to keep her post on Thursday, July 18, after a three-round election. “The voice of the National Rally will be heard in the bodies of the National Assembly, rest assured. This is extremely important to me, I have always thought that. I will carefully ensure that every French person who voted during these legislative elections is heard in the Assembly.”she said.
On the side of the defeated opponents, for the New Popular Front as for the National Rally, we denounce an election tainted by negotiations with the right. “How did she end up in the rostrum? Because she negotiated with a right wing that she claimed to fight at the ballot box. She negotiated places in the various bodies of the National Assembly.”deplored the socialist Boris Vallaud (NFP). Another notable sequence: the refusal of many deputies, especially from the left, to shake the hand of the youngest member of the hemicycle – an elected member of the extreme right.
