New French Assembly Speaker is a Macron MP – Did Le Pen’s Party Actually Win Anything?

.

ER Editor: France had the final round of its legislative elections on July 7. Le Pen’s party got the most votes, but what has actually CHANGED? Zip, zero, nada. A reminder:

1. Of the three major parties or party groupings (Macron, Le Pen and a grouping of Left/far left parties), Le Pen got the most votes (around 10 million) with the fewest seats.
2. Exit polls were showing her party in the lead before the polls closed last Sunday. Then they suddenly flipped for no apparent reason, putting the Left coalition in first place with the greatest number of seats, then Macron’s party, then Le Pen’s. 

Now, the biggest party of the three by number of seats, the Left coalition, cannot get their act together to find a Prime Minister. And yesterday, the lower house or National Assembly voted (secretly and generally in line with their party affiliation) for a president or speaker of the chamber. Voila, it’s one of Macron’s MPs who got it – Yael Braun-Pivet, who was the outgoing speaker. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Florian Philippot nicely sums it up for us —

Translation: Today : – #Ursula Von der Leyen re-elected as head of the European Commission despite the scandals and people’s disavowal of the EU! – Yael #Braun -Pivet re-elected president of the National Assembly despite the disappointment of the Macronists!  In the end nothing changes! Trick of the oligarchic system which chooses its cardboard “oppositions” and schemes to circumvent the will of the people! This System will only fall the day the people really decide for it!

Aujourd’hui :
– #Ursula Von der Leyen réélue à la tête de la Commission européenne malgré les scandales et le désaveu des peuples contre l’UE !

– Yael #Braun-Pivet réélue présidente de l’Assemblée nationale malgré la déconvenue des macronistes !

And this from Philippot today, introducing another angle, that of the deciding vote being inflated against Constitutional rules —

Translation: We don’t hear many people taking offense at yesterday’s coup d’état in the National Assembly: a president elected by just 13 votes, including 17 votes from minister-deputies who, at a minimum, should not have had the right to take go to the vote! Or even to be deputies at all! (Article 23 of the Constitution) Will the Constitutional Council at least be seized? Or is this circus already validated by all these little people, “oppositions” included?!… #BraunPivet

On n’entend pas grand monde s’offusquer du coup d’État hier à l’Assemblée Nationale : une présidente élue à 13 voix près dont 17 voix de ministres-députés qui, a minima, n’auraient dû avoir le droit de prendre part au vote ! Voire d’être députés tout court ! (Article 23 de la… pic.twitter.com/1W2a3xTjwF

And a sidenote: a young MP from Marine Le Pen’s party was in charge of the voting, standing on the National Assembly podium with the urn as MPs trooped up to cast their paper ballot. Many leftist MPs disdained this young woman, refusing to shake her hand because she’s from the Untouchables. This was theatre played out on TV for the viewing public. Superior Leftist morality strikes again. 

We sincerely hope this movie is waking more French people up.
