A little more clarity in a fragmented political landscape. The composition of the parliamentary groups of the 17th legislature was published on Friday, July 19, in the Official Journal and on the website of the National Assembly. After the election to the rostrum on Thursday of Yäel Braun-Pivet, this new step allows us to clarify the balance of power between the left-wing blocs, the Macronist camp, the right and the far right.

In total, there are 11 groups in the chamber, one more than in the previous legislature. The National Rally group, still chaired by Marine Le Pen and the main opposition group, brings together the most elected representatives with 123 members and three related members. It will be able to count on the support of Eric Ciotti’s new microparty, A droite, which brings together 16 members.

On the left of the hemicycle, we find the alliance of the New Popular Front which has 193 members and allies. This coalition brings together the group of La France insoumise, led by Mathilde Panot, who declared 71 members and one allie, that of the socialists with 62 members and four allies, the parliamentary group Ecologiste et Social, resulting from the rapprochement of the Ecologistes-EELV and former rebels of LFI, with 38 members and the Democratic and Republican Left (17 elected).

Then we find the 87 members and 12 related members of the Ensemble pour la République (ex-Renaissance) formation. With the Democrats (35 members and one related member), and that of Horizons (26 members and five related members), these three formations are the only ones not to have formally declared themselves members of the opposition. They make up the presidential majority, which thus has a total of 166 seats.

Eight MPs do not sit in any parliamentary group. Among them is Daniel Grenon, the MP for the first constituency of Yonne re-elected under the colours of the RN, who had been “invited by Marine Le Pen’s party not to sit in the group” after making racist remarks. In an interview published in The Republican Yonne On July 2, he had notably affirmed that “the Maghrebis [n’avaient] no place in high places.” Among the MPs who made racist or conspiratorial remarks during the legislative elections, he is the only one to have been forced to leave the far-right group.

For his part, Sacha Houlié, deputy for the second constituency of Vienne, will finally sit alongside the non-registered, after having failed to set up his own group. “autonomous social-democrat“As for MP Aurélien Pradié, he chose to leave the ranks of the Republican Right group (ex-Les Républicains) after having campaigned without a label. “Today, the situation in the party is inextricable. That is why I wanted to regain my freedom”explained the deputy re-elected in the first constituency of Lot, on June 24, to the website Actu.fr.
