A call to see more women committed to politics. Several political life figures, including the president of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet, signed this Sunday, May 18 in a forum in France France, to encourage other women to appear in the lists of candidates for the municipal elections of 2026.
“Ladies, politics needs them, our municipalities need it, our country needs it,” support the authors of the text. “To realize parity, it depends on you. The road is open, the tracked path, your place prepared. Take it, dare, commit,” support these own women who already participate in politics.
“The time for commitment has come,” they call.
Terminal, Dati, Schiappa …
Among the signatories, there are several members of the Government, such as the Minister of National Education, Elisabeth, Borne, the Minister of Culture and the minister delegate responsible for equality between women and men Aurore Bergé.
Former Minister Marlène Schiappa or the former modern Deputy elodie Jacquier-LaForge proposed by the law on the extension of the elections of the joint list to the small municipalities are also signatories.
A law on parity voted in the Assembly
This forum appeared then that the Constitutional Council judged in accordance with the Constitution on Thursday, May 15, a law that extends to municipalities with less than 1,000 inhabitants, the vote of the joint list in the municipal elections, since 2026, less than a year since the next vote.
This reform had been widely adopted last April to the Assembly. But his exam in the Senate, scheduled for next week, promises to be more complicated.
The deputies and senators of law and extreme right had seized the Constitutional Council. The latter explained, among other things, “that by allowing the entry into force of the law less than one year of the next general renewal of the municipal councils,” these provisions were “contrary to the principle of legal security,” according to the decision of wise men.
“An additional step”
“Eighty years after the first vote of women, in the municipal elections of 1945, an additional step for the parity of parity has just been taken,” he greets the signatories, in reference to the text considered according to the Constitutional Council.
“They will bring their convictions, their skills and their methods to a local action that needs everyone to serve everyone,” expects the president of the Assembly and the other signatory politicians.
“Equality does not depend on the number of inhabitants or the postal code. Parity is essential, everywhere,” they say.
Currently, the mayors of small municipalities are still chosen by the majority of a multinomial majority with two towers, with a “plug -in” system that allows citizens scratching certain names. The text on parity in municipal elections aims to enter into force by 2026.
In addition, it incorporates multiple parallel adjustments not very legible, which are supposed to respond to the difficulties known by many villages that lack candidates for municipal elections.
