The right remains in the majority. No upheaval in the Senate. The senatorial elections, which made it possible to renew 170 of the 348 seats in the hemicycle, did not result in a major political recomposition in the upper house: the right of Gérard Larcher and Bruno Retailleau remains in the majority for at least three years, while the Socialist Party remains the second group at the Luxembourg Palace.
The satisfaction of Gérard Larcher. “The senatorial results comfort[nt] the senatorial majority of the right and the center and testifies[nt] of its territorial roots. In a political context marked by the absence of a majority within the National Assembly, more than ever the Senate embodies this pole of stability, this point of balance of the Republic in the face of the deep crisis our country is going through. said Gérard Larcher on Sunday, re-elected for a sixth term. The President of the Senate should logically retain his functions at the head of the institution, during a vote scheduled for October 2.
Leavers largely renewed. Some 80% of candidates for re-election retain their seats at the Luxembourg Palace. There were 119 of them to represent themselves among the 170 outgoing senators.
