Would negotiations "
on the sly
" have taken place between the majority, LR and the RN, as suggested by the deputy Insoumise Mathilde Panot?
In any case, this is what many voices within the Nupes denounce, seeing between Macronie, the right, and the nationalists, a "
junk opposition
", in the words of Antoine Léaument, LFI deputy of the Essone.
In question: the withdrawal of the RN during the second round of the election for the presidency of the Assembly on Tuesday;
the election of two RN deputies to the vice-presidency;
and the joint candidacy between the presidential majority and LR for the questure, without opposition from the Lepenist deputies.
For the appointment of these three quaestors, one of which is usually assigned to the opposition, a joint ballot for Éric Woerth (ex-LR become LREM), Marie Guévenoux (LREM) and Éric Ciotti (LR) was printed.
The RN would not have presented a name for this election.
The candidate of the Nupes, the Insoumis Bastien Lachaud, sees there "
proof of the agreement between Renaissance, LR and the RN to oust the Nupes from the questure
".
“The majority preferred to make a pact with the far right”
The Nupes intergroup, which considers itself to be the main opposition force in the National Assembly, with 151 members (75 rebels, 31 socialists, 23 ecologists and 22 communists), criticizes with one voice the election of two vice- presidents from the RN, Sébastien Chenu and Hélène Laporte.
Of the six positions to be filled, two fall to Nupes deputies: Valérie Rabault (PS) and Caroline Fiat (LFI).
The environmental candidates Sandrine Rousseau and Benjamin Lucas, who showed up at the last minute to try to prevent the RN from obtaining these important positions, were not nominated by their peers.
For Benjamin Lucas, “
the majority preferred to make a pact with the far right rather than block it.
It is dramatic for the Republic
”.
Faced with these accusations, the majority coalition Together!
responds in a press release that the choice of the six vice-presidents “
illustrates the new Assembly chosen by the French during the ballots of June 12 and 19
”.
The new president of the Renaissance group, Aurore Bergé, affirms that "
we have neither the legitimacy nor the right to censor the vote of voters, even if it does not suit us
".
The majority also recalls in this text that it will not participate - as tradition dictates - in the vote for the presidency of the finance committee, and that the oppositions will have to decide between them.
