Wikipedia identity table for the 29 April 2024 legislative result (not a causal source for the 3 May chair) records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is transfer capacity: a completed appointment of the same surname to the new real executive. ## What is established and what is not Established: The National Assembly appointed him President of the Council on 3 May 2025. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. The Assembly appointed. Sharing an Assembly majority is not a reason to drop the chair..
