Elected in the constituency of Yvelines, this lawyer by profession was first appointed to the deputation in 2017.

First appointed Minister of Overseas, Yaël Braun-Pivet is therefore elected to a key position. The Psocialist art and Republicans congratulate themselves on his election to the roost. Like her, other women now occupy important positions within the French political landscape.
