The left lost, this Thursday, October 2, its majority in the strategic office of the National Assembly. The National Rally (RN) returns to this executive body thanks to the common base.
After the elections on Wednesday of the six vice presidents and the three questions on Wednesday (responsible for the good financial health of the National Assembly), the deputies voted this Thursday morning for the twelve secretaries of the office, thus completing their members.
It significantly decides the most severe sanctions against deputies, or the admissibility of certain texts.
The left had taken advantage of, last year, of a demobilization by the common base to win a majority during the confused votes organized in the heart of the night. But this year, the president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet (Renaissance), wanted a proportional distribution corresponding to the weight of the groups.
A proportional distribution of key stations
The regulations provide this distribution, with a point system, if all groups agree. Otherwise, the votes are organized.
The left opposed the points system, rejecting the entry of the RN into the instances of the Assembly on behalf of the Republican Front, but the RN and the common base have agreed to impose this distribution by their votes.
In total, the RN and its ciotist allies obtain five representatives in the office.
The common base (Renaissance, Horizons, Modem and the Republicans) total it to nine representatives, telling the president. The left (France Ingoumise, Socialist Party, Environmental and Communists) has seven. The Independent Liot group also obtains a secretary.
“I would like to thank each of you for your participation in these elections that have taken place peacefully and in good order,” said Braun-Pivet after having announced the results.
The new office, which includes 12 women and 10 men, will meet for the first time next Wednesday.
