Between the Nupes and the National Rally, the battle of the opposition is launched

The presidency of the Finance Committee was the most anticipated battle in the National Assembly. The Nupes won, with the election of the deputy of rebellious France Éric Coquerel. “What the Nupes wears will obviously have applications in how I apply this warrant.“, he said after the vote. The National Rally is the loser of the day. This post is traditionally reserved for the opposition party with the largest supply.

A disappointment, therefore, for the party of Marine Le Pen. But the absence of an absolute majority makes the balances uncertain and shifting. With its 89 deputies, the National Rally succeeded on Wednesday June 9 in electing two party members to the vice-presidency of the National Assembly. “We have put an end to the caricatures that have been made of us for years. We said we were going to play the preservation of institutions“said one of the two concerned, Sébastien Chenu.
