Overview

• The socle commun now holds seven of eight permanent commission presidencies, while LFI’s Éric Coquerel retains the Finance Committee reserved for the opposition.
• The Rassemblement National rejoined the Assembly’s Bureau with two vice presidencies and two secretary posts as the left lost its prior majority in the body.
• RN did not field candidates for commission chairs and voted for socle commun nominees, while securing vice presidencies in commissions under the same arrangement.
• LR’s Philippe Juvin became rapporteur general of the budget, replacing Liot’s Charles de Courson, positioning the bloc for leverage during the 2026 budget process.
• Left parties denounced what they called a pact between Macronists and the RN, which Renaissance deputies rejected, as the Lecornu government lineup is expected later this week according to reports.
