This is a good revenge before retirement for someone who was already a candidate for this position against Richard Ferrand in 2018. For a long time, he was preparing for the bourgeoisie, yet without imagining that he would approach it in such an unprecedented framework, the majority would want to throw themselves from the LFI to the LR via RN as a whole and opposition groups.

Yaël Braun-Pivet wanted to make his mark as the head of this commission, especially at the beginning of the five-year period, when he visited prisons.
