Starting at 9:30 a.m., the bureau of the National Assembly, its highest executive body, will meet to study seven items on its agenda, including the penultimate one, the most scrutinized: should the bureau send to the Law Commission a proposal to impeach the President of the Republic put forward by LFI, and signed by 81 deputies?
