Overview
- Christelle Petex announced she is stepping down from both her National Assembly seat and her departmental councillor mandate via a communiqué published on Thursday.
- She attributed her decision to "too much of everything," including criticism, attacks, attempts at dissuasion and threats, after having been on leave for several months.
- Reporting from Le Parisien and TF1, citing Ici Pays de Savoie, states that a deputy’s voluntary resignation leads to a by-election rather than replacement by a substitute.
- Le Dauphiné Libéré had indicated her Assembly substitute, Xavier Brand, would normally take over, highlighting a disagreement in reporting over the succession process.
- For the departmental seat, Le Dauphiné Libéré reports that her substitute Christine Mégevand is expected to assume the role.
