Government, Assembly… The political week looks set to be unclear
(FRANCEINFO)
Less than two weeks before the start of the Olympic Games, Gérard Larcher, the President of the Senate, is calling for a “political truce”, while the formation of a new government and the election of the President of the National Assembly are on everyone’s minds.
Will the coming week clear the fog that has arisen from the elections? Before July 17, Emmanuel Macron must accept the resignation presented by Gabriel Attal. However, the government is not disappearing. “A resigning government is reduced to vital functions, what is called the continuity of current affairs. (…) The other element is the urgency in terms of public order.”explains constitutionalist Benjamin Morel.
The 17 ministers-deputies intend to participate in the election of the president of the National Assembly. The succession of Yaël Braun-Pivet, herself a candidate, is very open. The New Popular Front, for its part, cannot agree on a name to propose for Matignon. Huguette Bello, supported by the Insoumis and the communists, declined the proposal. With 12 days to go before the Olympic Games, Gérard Larcher, president of the Senate, wants “Let the Olympic truce be the political truce”The appointment of a new government will therefore probably wait until the end of August.
