In a surprising turn of events, the Young LR is set to decide on an exclusion procedure against Emmanuelle Brisson on September 7. The news about this decision is exclusive to At Pol's political newsletter.

The event that has been mentioned as a contributing factor to the ongoing exclusion procedure took place during the party's congress in Port-Marly, Yvelines, on Saturday. Emmanuelle Brisson, a former legislative candidate in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques and the daughter of Senator Max Brisson, organised a "happening" during the presentation of the Young LR's statutes.

According to a Young LR member, this event was "the last straw" due to previous instances of "cyberbullying" and "insults" during Brisson's campaign for the presidency of the Young LR. The event involved actions that some members consider inappropriate, such as "cyberbullying" and "insults". It was reportedly attended by a small group of young supporters.

Bruno Retailleau, the president of the Republicans, has confirmed that the president of the right's young wing will now be appointed, not elected. Emmanuelle Brisson is campaigning to succeed Guilhem Carayon as head of the Young LR, but the position, which was previously elected, will now be appointed.

Despite the changes in the statutes, Emmanuelle Brisson is leading an internal guerrilla campaign. It is important to note that the event was not specified as the sole reason for the exclusion procedure against Emmanuelle Brisson. There are reportedly many reasons for the exclusion procedure.

In a separate development, Guilhem Carayon has left the Young LR and is now with the RN. The Republicans are yet to announce who will be appointed as the new president of the Young LR.

This is a developing story and At Pol will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
