Tuesday, June 28, the National Assembly elected for the first time a woman to its presidency. She’s the MP LREM, Yaël Braun-Pivet, who reaches the perch.
It’s a big first, Yaël Braun-Pivet, 51, is the first woman to be elected president of The national assembly. “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights”, declared the new president of the hemicycle. Elected in the constituency of Yvelines, this lawyer by profession was first appointed to the deputation in 2017.
First appointed Minister of Overseas, Yaël Braun-Pivet is therefore elected to a key position. The Psocialist art and Republicans congratulate themselves on his election to the roost. Like her, other women now occupy important positions within the French political landscape. Dawn Bank was appointed as President of the Presidential Majority in the National Assembly, while Elisabeth Borne is Prime Minister. On the other hand, women deputies are less numerous than five years ago.
