Gérard Larcher re-elected President of the French Senate
Gérard Larcher has been re-elected as President of the French Senate for a sixth term. In the first round of voting, the Les Républicains senator secured 203 votes out of 302 expressed ballots, maintaining his position at the head of the upper house until 2029.
This new legislative period is marked by a significant shift in the Senate's political landscape with the establishment of the RN-UDR group. Led by former deputy Edwige Diaz, this new group represents a growing presence for the far-right within the institution. While Larcher aims to preserve the Senate's tradition of compromise and stability, the arrival of the RN-UDR is expected to influence the chamber's political dynamics and future debates.
