From the “Plateau” to committee presidencies… behind the scenes, the campaign is in full swing after the renewal of the Upper House on Sunday.


The senatorial elections are over, the campaign continues.

In the corridors of the Senate, another competition is playing out, that of the attribution of positions of responsibility… and of offices.

The re-election of Gérard Larcher at the “Plateau” on Thursday is not up for debate.

Gérard Larcher wrote to senators.
