No changes to key positions in the lower house of Parliament. The current office of the National Assembly was reappointed on Tuesday September 26, franceinfo learned from a parliamentary source. The heads of the political groups in the National Assembly met at the end of Tuesday afternoon to decide whether it was necessary to call into question the composition of the office or renew the current configuration, including in particular the contested allocation of two vice-presidencies at the National Rally.
The Renaissance president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, pleaded for a status quo in the composition of the office, a governing body which brings together vice-presidents, quaestors and secretaries. “It’s a good office because it respects our regulations which provide that it must represent different political sensitivities” of the hemicycle, and because it is “largely equal, with 12 women out of 22 members”she recently defended before Macronist deputies.
Questions in the majority
Within the presidential camp, some openly regretted having allowed the allocation, by their votes at the start of the legislature, of two vice-presidencies of the Assembly to RN deputies Sébastien Chenu and Hélène Laporte. The others are attributed to Valérie Rabault (PS), Naïma Moutchou (Horizons), Elodie Jacquier-Laforge (MoDem) and Caroline Fiat (LFI).
“There is a whole strategy of legitimizing the National Rally, for which we could have made mistakes” And “clearly”THE “vote for RN deputies for vice-presidencies” was one of them, said Macronist MP Sacha Houlié on Saturday. The elected official, however, judged “difficult” to question them “without victimization on their part”.
