National Assembly Opens Votes Likely to Restore RN to Bureau

The internal ballot serves as an early gauge of the centrist‑right bloc’s cohesion before looming budget fights.

Overview

  • With negotiations collapsed, deputies are holding two days of public votes to renew the Assembly’s Bureau and commission presidencies.
  • Yaël Braun‑Pivet pushed a proportional distribution, and combined votes from the government camp and the RN are expected to secure the far‑right’s return.
  • Two RN figures, Sébastien Chenu and Hélène Laporte, are expected to run for vice‑president posts as each bloc targets two of the six vice‑presidencies.
  • The left rejects RN inclusion and is set to lose its Bureau majority, while LFI seeks to keep its two vice‑presidencies, likely at the expense of the Greens’ seat.
  • Commission chairs are decided Thursday, with Éric Coquerel favored to retain Finance, as the outcome shapes leverage before censure motions and the 2026 budget.
