Republican Right MP Laurent Wauquiez is resigning from the presidency of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, franceinfo learned on Friday from the MP’s entourage, confirming information from BFMTV.
This resignation was expected. It is part of the law on the non-accumulation of mandates. This law stipulates that it is now forbidden for any deputy or senator to exercise a local executive function. Since Laurent Wauquiez is the new leader of the Republican Right group in the Assembly, he has chosen to keep this mandate rather than that of regional president.
