The PS deputy Valérie Rabault, freshly re-elected last Sunday in the Tarn-et-Garonne will not chair the very prestigious Finance Committee of the National Assembly. According to our information, Olivier Faure, the boss of the party, opposed his appointment. In question, its positioning during the last legislative elections, where Valérie Rabault had distanced herself from Nupes.
General rapporteur of the budget under the presidency of François Hollande – a first for a woman – Valérie Rabault was strongly approached to take the presidency of the Finance Commission of the Palais Bourbon. Moreover, the evening of the second round of the legislative elections, Sébastien Vincini (now national secretary of the PS) had mentioned this possible designation on our antenna.
Valérie Rabault had put herself in working order by deciding not to run for the presidency of the socialist group in the National Assembly.
Problem: according to our information, Olivier Faure, the boss of the PS and himself re-elected to the National Assembly, favors another option. A chairmanship of the Finance Committee by a representative of LFI (La France Insoumise). This is not illogical, insofar as the parliamentary group of the Insoumis has more elected officials than the socialist group.
But beyond this equation, Valérie Rabault seems to be paying for her positioning during the last legislative elections. Last Sunday, the Tarn-et-Garonne deputy was easily re-elected (she obtained 57.37% of the votes cast) against her opponent from the RN in Tarn-et-Garonne.
The PS deputy had been invested by the NUPES (New Popular Ecological and Social Union). But without much conviction. The president of the socialist group in the National Assembly was never convinced by this electoral agreement, preferring to assert her socialist identity during the legislative campaign.
This is perhaps what Valérie Rabault is paying for today.
