Overview

  • The National Assembly’s Law Commission approved the inquiry on June 18 by a 29-27 vote to examine clientelist links between political parties and Islamist networks.
  • Socialist deputy Sophie Pantel was elected commission president on July 2 and resigned hours later, creating a bureau without left-wing deputies.
  • Vice-president and secretary roles are now held exclusively by MPs from Les Républicains, Rassemblement national, Horizons and Renaissance.
  • Les Républicains allege that La France Insoumise pressured the PS into Pantel’s resignation, a claim firmly rejected by Socialist leader Boris Vallaud.
  • A second presidential vote is scheduled for July 8 as disputes over the commission’s impartiality deepen.
