Yael Brown-Pivet, who has been foreign minister for a month and is due to become Speaker of the National Assembly on Tuesday, has left the government, according to a decree published in the Official Journal on Sunday. “Ms. Yael Brown-Pivet’s duties have been terminated“and”The functions of the minister abroad are carried out by the prime minister– says this decree adopted on Saturday by Emmanuel Macron at the suggestion of Elizabeth Bourne.
For the first time in France, a woman should have access to the National Assembly. Still new to politics in 2017, Ms Brown-Pivet, a former chair of the Assembly’s Law Committee and MP for Yvelines, was installed by the presidential majority on Wednesday to replace Richard Ferrand (LREM), a “close friend of Emmanuel Macron”. He lost in the second round of legislative elections.
All deputies will vote on Tuesday afternoon during a closed secret ballot in the podium. Also present are Anne Genevard (LR), former Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Sébastien Chenoux-elect, and sure to be a candidate for the Union of the Left.
If an absolute majority of the votes cast in the first two rounds of voting is not obtained, a relative majority in the third round is sufficient to guarantee Ms. Brown-Pivet’s election, barring an accident.
