The info not to miss
Another major day in the National Assembly is taking shape… The choice of the future chairman of the very powerful Finance Committee, which is by right an opposition deputy, was shaping up to be a major battle and a first test.
Insoumis deputy Éric Coquerel, who appeared as a favorite, but was closely followed by RN deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy, finally won this Thursday at midday, after three rounds of voting.
Moreover, and for the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, the National Rally elected two of its deputies, Sébastien Chenu and Hélène Laporte, to the posts of vice-presidents of the Hemicycle, obtaining respectively 290 and 284 voice through votes from the majority and from the right.
Proof if needed of the new status of the RN in French politics, the appointment of the two elected officials reflects "all the sensitivities" expressed "by the French", according to the Macronist deputy Aurore Bergé.
A choice widely commented on – and criticized – by the left: “There are 200 deputies who are not from the National Rally who voted for the National Rally, when they had other choices.
This means that the trivialization of the far right continues to be at work”, for example judged the president of the socialist group in the Assembly, Boris Vallaud.
