Yaël Braun-Pivet wants to send a transpartisan bill to the Council of State by the summer

It is to an old sea serpent that the prresident of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet decided to attack. According to information from franceinfo, the President of the Assembly wishes to transmit a transpartisan bill herself by the summer to the Council of State to introduce a dose of proportionality in the legislative elections and obtain an assembly more representative of the vote the French.

Yaël Braun-Pivet is consulting the group presidents this week and the objective is a vote just before or after Christmas. If it succeeds, this reform of the voting method can limit a possible tidal wave of extremes during the next legislative elections in 2027.

The President of the National Assembly proposes that this proportional be applied in the 11 departments which have more than 10 deputies, or a little more than a quarter of the seats. According to one of his relatives, Yaël Braun-Pivet will consult political groups to see if there is “a way of passage”. She receives the Nupes group presidents on Wednesday April 10. Thursday 11, she will receive the president of the Les Républicains deputies, Olivier Marleix, and the patron of the National Rally deputies, Marine Le Pen.

The majority vote has long contributed to an under-representation of the extreme right. A secret poll commissioned last December by Les Républicains shows that the RN can now hope for an absolute majority. Those around Yaël Braun-Pivet think that a proportional dose can therefore, on the contrary, have a “eiderdown effect”because he “crash the waves.”

Emmanuel Macron was made aware of the initiative of the President of the National Assembly, assures a close friend of Yaël Braun-Pivet. According to this source, the head of state did not try to discourage her.
