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, a number of leftist MPs refused to shake Termet's hand, speculated to be 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][7]
