Political views
editFirst involved with Les Républicains at the age of 17, Termet joined the National Rally three years later, justifying this choice by a desire to more firmly defend the legacy of Charles de Gaulle.[4] In an interview he said that he is committed to supporting measures in favor of purchasing power within the National Assembly.[4]
Political career
editPer tradition, as the youngest member Termet served as secretary in the first session. As MPs cast ballots for president of the National Assembly, the majority of left MPs refused to shake Termet's hand, due to his far-right positions. This list included one, François Piquemal, who engaged in a mock game of rock paper scissors with him.[5][6]
