Perchoir, commissions, chat … The battle to occupy the essential functions opens between the various political forces, while the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, reinforced with Matignon by Emmanuel Macron, tries to find support for the presidential coalition .

This is a life -size test for the cohesion of the new National Assembly. Even before it is a question of bills or amendments, the week which opens at the Palais-Bourbon poses a series of decisive deadlines in the establishment of power relations within the institution.
The 577 deputies must proceed to the distribution of the key posts, from the presidency of the National Assembly to the presidencies of the eight permanent commissions via the quorture, the six vice-presidents and the twelve posts of secretaries which make up the office, the organ that oversees the internal functioning of the institution.
The unprecedented composition of the National Assembly gives another scope to these internal designations. Admittedly, it is dominated by the presidential coalition – Renaissance -Ex -La République en Marche (LRM), MoDem and Horizons – but the latter, confined to the rank of relative majority, will probably be enclosed by seven groups of oppositions – the National Rally (RN), La France Insoumise (LFI), Les Républicains (LR), Socialists, Environmentalists, Communists, and a composite group of ultramarine elected officials, Corsicans, and Centrists.
Parliamentarians will have to elect the President of the National Assembly on Tuesday, who, in addition to chairing sessions, will have to use his mediator talents to allow oppositions as well as the majority to find their place in this new context. Three candidates are already in the running, the deputies Annie Genevard (LR, Doubs), Sébastien Chesnu (RN, North) and Yaël Braun-Pivet (LRM, Yvelines). The latter left the overseas ministry on Sunday, after a decree published the same day in the Official Journal.
Yaël Braun-Pivet, favorite for the perch
Candidate of the majority to succeed Richard Ferrand, defeated in the legislative elections in Finistère, the former president of the Law Commission is likely to prevail during a secret ballot organized in the gallery . If, after two laps, the majority of the votes cast did not focus on a candidate, the relative majority is sufficient in the third round, enough to partly ensure the victory of Yaël Braun-Pivet. Especially since his person is unanimous both in the majority and in part of the LRs, convinced of the idea of electing for the first time in France a woman at the head of the National Assembly.
also, he is an elected NOVice of the RN, José Gonzales, 79, the dean of the hemicycle, who will chair this inaugural session of the 16th sup> legislature.
