Braun-Pivet wins surprise re-election as national assembly speaker

French politics showed no signs of easing on Friday following the re-election of Yaël Braun-Pivet as speaker of the National Assembly, RFI reports.

Braun-Pivet, who held the post in the previous parliament, won 220 votes on Thursday night in the third round of voting, fending off a challenge from veteran left-wing candidate André Chassagne and Sébastien Chenu of the National Rally party. Chassagne, 74, denounced the vote as a deal between President Emmanuel Macron’s party and the Republican Party. Chassaigne said in an interview on the French radio station franceinfo on Friday:

“The Republicans, through an alliance with Madame Yaël Braun-Pivet, voted for this president in exchange for positions of responsibility in the National Assembly that will be far above how much weight they actually carry.” 

Chenu said:

“It’s a Pyrrhic victory. It is against nature … between Macron’s supporters and the Republican party who got themselves elected a fortnight ago by saying they were the opposition to Emmanuel Macron and they have just voted for Yaël Braun-Pivet. It circumvents the will of the voters.”

During a short speech Thursday night, Braun-Pivet, 53, said she realised she was under pressure to ensure unity after parliamentary elections failed to produce a party with a majority in the 577-seat lower house. She told MPs:

“What we can say to each other is that we have an immense responsibility. There are major issues at stake and our decisions, our actions can change our lives. We have to listen to these messages from the voters and come up with solutions, using new methods. This assembly is more representative of the French people, but also more divided. It is necessary to find compromises.”

Macron took to social media on Thursday night to offer his congratulations. He said:

“All those who know you know that you will ensure respect for the plurality of opinions and the expression of the diversity of sensibilities.”

Quand on vous dit que la NUPES fait rien qu'à bordéliser les débats, hein !

Il n'est peut-être pas inutile de rappeler que Mme Yaël Braun-Pivet ne doit en rien son poste de ~première femme présidente de l'Assemblée nationale~ à ses compétences mais bien à un service rendu au Présiroi d'avoir enterré l'affaire Benalla en 2018.

Pour qui n'a pas pour habitude de suivre les débats au Parlement, je vous assure que c'est édifiant, et donne la pleine mesure du degré réel de la démocratie représentative en France.

Moment a French lawmaker shouts 'Go back to Africa' during fellow MP's speech, November 4, 2022

Grégoire de Fournas, a French far-right lawmaker from the National Rally party, caused an uproar in parliament on Thursday when he shouted 'Go back to Africa!' during a question by the left-wing parliamentarian Carlos Martens Bilongo. Bilongo, who is black, was speaking about the refugee crisis, imploring lawmakers to take urgent action to help African migrants. Fournas's interjection caused chaos in the chamber, with MPs shouting 'get out' before the house speaker, Yaël Braun-Pivet, temporarily suspended the session.

Bravo ! Grande victoire du NFP avec LFI en tête. Comme en 2017, comme en 2022, comme le 7 juillet dernier, l’objectif était clair : sauver Macron et le système néolibéral ploutocratique néofasciste dont il est le fondé de pouvoir.

Les magouilles du 7 juillet ont marché à fond, la macroniste Braun-Pivet peut continuer son sale boulot à la tête de l’Assemblée nationale. Mission accomplie.

On joue les antifascistes pour la galerie mais on ne pense qu'à la gamelle

On vote et fait voter pour Gérald Darmanin, pour Borne, pour Hollande etc. etc. et au Parlement européen on acclame Von der leyen, après avoir voté pour elle. Reste plus maintenant qu’à reconstituer le bloc central. Et Macron pourra tranquillement continuer. Et pendant ce temps-là le gorille Delogu et ses copains vont continuer à rouler des mécaniques. Tout ceci est à gerber.!

For my non-French followers: what’s happening in France is so fucked up.

Previously: the European elections were organized all over European countries that are part of the EU. In France, the results were terrifying: the far-right party (which was co-created by a Waffen SS, yes it was co-created by a literal Nazi and Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen’s father) arrived first.

Then Macron decided to dissolve the Assemblée Nationale (our parliament) because…well he said a lot of explanations that don’t mean anything but really we all know his ego got bruised and that’s why he went and push France into a political chaos.

We were super scared because the far-right party was very high in the polls. The mainstream medias kept pushing the far-right candidates. (And they are keeping at it and it’s so so scary to have a party full of racist homophobic sexist people to be treated as if they were just like any other politicians).

Against all odds, the left parties decided to unite and presented their candidate under a union called the Nouveau Front Populaire. And we won: not by far but we won.

And then Macron: his political party arrived 3rd in number of elected members of parliament but he refused the results. Basically, as planned in our country, the prime minister presented his resignation. But Macron decided that noooope let’s not respect the vote of the French citizens and refused the resignation.

What happened today

Today, the members of parliament voted for the president of the Assemblée nationale. And who was elected? The previous president of the Assemblée : Yael Braun-Pivet. She is from Macron’s party so basically not at all the majority because they fucking lost the elections. (Also she is a terrible person who are a support of the massacres perpetrated by Israel in Palestine).

How did she got elected? Well. 17 ministers who got re-elected members of parliament voted. EVEN THOUGH our constitution says that they are not allowed to vote if they are part of the government. And the difference in the numbers of vote between her and the left parties’ candidates is 14 votes. 17 ministers, 14 votes.

It’s a dangerous time for France and a lot is happening. And we are going in a very very scary place.

All my support for my fellow French people, but especially non-white people and Muslims.

The far right’s historically high score in the first round of the French legislative elections was reflected in the alarmed headlines of major international media outlets. An “earthquake”, a “staggering collapse” authored by Emmanuel Macron’s “arrogance and disdain for his fellow citizens” were among the reactions. But despite the imminence of the potential catastrophe now facing France – the far right has never been as close to power since the collaborationist Vichy regime – many in the political centre still struggle with the idea of uniting to keep National Rally (RN) out.

Macron irresponsibly conflated the far right and the left during the campaign, claiming that the “two extremes” (right and left) would lead to “civil war”. His rhetoric falsely equated the hateful far right with a coalition of parties on the left (the New Popular Front, NFP) that aspires to equality and social justice. He even adopted the talking points of the far right to attack the left’s “immigrationist” programme.

Macron eventually called for a “broad democratic and republican coalition” in the second round to unite to block “the imminent danger of an absolute majority for the RN”. But it took time for even heavyweights in his party to heed him. Many have refused to withdraw, selfishly risking the election of RN candidates to parliament.

For Yaël Braun-Pivet, president of the national assembly, blocking the RN was not enough of a reason to vote for France Unbowed (LFI), the leading party on the left. Finance minister Bruno Le Maire agreed, opposing the RN unless it meant voting for LFI.

The messaging from Macron’s Ensemble coalition has been mixed: the party announced that candidates would tactically withdraw from constituency races “in favour of candidates capable of defeating the National Rally and with whom we share the values of the Republic”. The statement’s ambiguity, apparently aimed at LFI, left the definition of republican values open to interpretation.

Over the past two years, LFI has faced constant criticism. The party’s clear stance against Islamophobia, in a context where hostility towards Muslims in France is normalised, is often maliciously characterised as a shameless bid to attract Muslim votes. Recently, accusations of antisemitism have intensified due to LFI’s strong support for protecting Palestinian lives in Gaza; the nomination of Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian refugee, for the European elections; and some members’ refusal to label Hamas a terrorist group.

Like any form of racism, antisemitism is historically and structurally ingrained in France. It has found expression far too often (as have Islamophobia, sexism and transphobia) and LFI must continue to address and combat the antisemitism that persists within its ranks.

But the exclusionof an entire segment of the population is not part of LFI’s programme. According to a new report by the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, “the majority of antisemitism is manifested among citizens on the right or far right”.

LFI, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a staunch critic of Macron, issued a clear directive ahead of the second round: “Nowhere will we allow the RN to prevail. Our stance is unequivocal: no votes, no seats for the RN.” LFI candidates withdrew from races where the RN posed a threat, including against Gérald Darmanin, the rightwing interior minister, who by contrast said he would abstain rather than give LFI his vote in a two-way contest with the RN.

Gabriel Attal, the prime minister, eventually came out with an explicit call on voters to block the RN even if that meant voting for LFI. While many candidates in Macron’s camp have withdrawn from races featuring LFI candidates, some have refused to do so, even at the risk of letting the RN win.

Yet every day brings new examples of the horror the country is plunging into and which an RN victory would exacerbate. Since the dissolution of parliament on 9 June, there has been an increase in racist and homophobic incidents. A Black woman insulted on camera by her white neighbours said the election had opened the floodgates to a climate of intolerance towards people of migrant heritage. A motorist who said he was an RN voter is alleged to have racially insulted and hit a school bus driver after a parking dispute in Val-de-Marne. Racist leaflets demanding that authorities “stop the Blacks” were distributed to residents of a small town in the Yvelines region of northern France. A bakery in Avignon that had hired a Black employee was targeted in an arson attack and daubed with racist graffiti. In Calais, there has been a spate of violent incidents against migrants. I could go on.

This is a foretaste of the kind of atmosphere the National Rally would make mainstream. According to the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, the normalisation of racism is rising alongside support for the far right. That is hardly surprising when you consider that Mediapart and Libération have investigated RN candidates and have not had to dig far to find examples of the crudest forms of racism – including antiziganism, antisemitism and Islamophobia, sexism, homophobia, conspiracy theories and Nazi nostalgia – fuelling their social media feeds.

Marine Le Pen has managed to rebrand her party, but maintains strong ties with groups and builds allyship with European parties that are less cautious about hiding their extremism. She tries to distance herself from the legacy of the party co-founded by her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, with former Nazi collaborationists. He has long been accused of torturing civilians while serving as a paratrooper during the Algerian revolution and was convicted on charges of minimising the Holocaust.

But Le Pen’s party not only pursues a hardline anti-immigrant policy. It aims to create different categories of French nationals, stripping dual citizens of rights.

This is what the RN represents at its core and why it must be prevented from prevailing next Sunday. Stopping the far right takes courage and moral clarity: politicians need to put their individual interests aside in the interest of everyone. We cannot waver on our principles, and risk pushing France into a situation from which it will not recover. For those who are privileged, failing to do everything in their power to block the RN may seem acceptable. But they need to think about those millions whose lives are at risk.

“We’ll argue later” has become the motto of the leftwing parties that have coalesced against the far right. This should be applicable to everyone across the political spectrum who is capable of defeating the far right. The priority must be to make sure this party never crosses the threshold of power.

France's interior minister has banned all pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country.

In a statement, Gérald Darmanin ordered foreign nationals who break the rules to be "systematically" deported.

The move comes as European governments fear a rise in antisemitism triggered by the Israel-Hamas war.

On Thursday, German police broke up a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin.

France has a Jewish community of almost 500,000, the biggest in Europe. France's Muslim community is also among Europe's largest - an estimated five million.

Mr Darmanin told regional prefects that Jewish schools and synagogues should be protected by a visible police presence.

He earlier told French radio that 100 antisemitic acts had been recorded since Saturday. Most involved graffiti showing "swastikas, 'death to Jews,' calls to intifadas against Israel". However, some incidents included people being arrested attempting to carry knives into schools and synagogues, he added.

French police are already guarding the homes of leading MPs. National Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet and MP Meyer Habib have been offered further protection.

In a separate move, Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared "zero tolerance" for antisemitism.

He told parliament a pro-Palestinian group that had celebrated the murders of Israeli civilians on Saturday would be banned.

Berlin police have also banned planned pro-Palestinian demonstrations, citing the risk of antisemitic statements and glorification of violence. Authorities said around 60 demonstrators complied with an order to leave Berlin's Potsdamer Platz on Thursday.

French President Emmanuel Macron was due to give a TV address on Wednesday in a bid to prevent the war from escalating tensions.

Twelve French citizens are known to have died in the Hamas attack and Mr Macron told party leaders that of the 17 others missing, four were children.

It has also emerged that Assembly President Braun-Pivet has received death threats.

A member of President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party, she had parliament lit this week in the colours of the Israeli flag in response to the Hamas attack on Israel and called a minute's silence before an Assembly session on Tuesday.

Ms Braun-Pivet also announced that Maryam Abu Daqqa, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), would be banned from attending a documentary screening in parliament next month. The militant organisation is recognised as a terrorist organisation by the EU.

Meyer Habib has also been given protection. He represents a constituency for overseas French citizens which includes Israel and the Palestinian Territories and is a vocal supporter of Israel. After the Hamas attack he said "we are witnessing the return of pogroms".

French politics has been riven by the Hamas attack and its aftermath.

While most parties have condemned Saturday's "terrorist attack" and expressed support for Israel's right to respond, the initial response from Jean-Luc Mélenchon's far-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) party was more equivocal.

A statement by the party referred to the Hamas attack as "an armed offensive of Palestinian forces", prompting fierce criticism from other parties, including left-wing allies such as the Socialist and Communist parties.

In Germany, Chancellor Scholz told MPs in the Bundestag that Israel's security was German state policy. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is due to travel to Israel on Friday in a gesture of solidarity.

Mr Scholz also announced that pro-Palestinian group Samidoun, which was pictured handing out sweets in the Neukölln area of Berlin to celebrate the Hamas attack, would be banned. "We do not tolerate antisemitism," he added.

According to German authorities, in several towns across the country including Mainz, Braunschweig and Heilbronn, Israeli flags raised in solidarity with the country were torn down and destroyed, sometimes in just a few hours.

"The act disrespects and mocks the victims" of Hamas's attack, Braunschweig's mayor, Thorsten Kornblum, said.

Mr Scholz added that "without Iranian support, Hamas would not have been able to carry out these unprecedented attacks".

« Aujourd’hui, en 2024, c’est la même trahison des modérés. C’est Edouard Philippe qui appelle à voter pour un communiste ; Xavier Bertrand qui insulte les élus ou candidats RN, leur préférant l’extrême-gauche ; Gérard Larcher ou Bruno Retailleau qui refusent de prendre parti entre un RN et un LFI, tout comme Christian Estrosi ou Renaud Muselier, faisant au final le jeu des plus révolutionnaires. C’est toute la clique LR canal historique qui a exclu de faire reporter les voix de ses électeurs du premier tour sur les candidats nationaux, faisant élire l’extrême-gauche islamiste et antisémite, sans parler des bataillons des macronistes à l’image de Yaël Braun-Pivet qui s’est faite insulter pendant deux ans par les LFI, mais qui n’a pas pris position pour le RN en cas de duel entre eux. Alain de Benoist a très justement souligné dans un entretien pour Monde et Vie, que ce bal des hypocrites était favorisé par un système politique qui préférait « la coalition des perdants » aux vainqueurs du 1er tour. »
