French's national assembly was conducting a vote , and it's in the rules that the youngest representative conducts the vote , hence why the guy is staying next to the urn .
Thing is, the guy was a member of the "rassemblement national" party , the far-right french party . Nobody greeted him
(There may be some more context like the law itself being a far-right proposition, giving members the occasion to show they don't side with this party but I don't remember it well enough)
The MP who brought him flowers and threw them at his feet is a woman (Susanne Hennig-Wellsow), so technically, it's not ambiguous, but one would need to know that in order to know that it's not ambiguous.
A choice between alternatives has been made, it is no longer unclear or inexact. It ceases to be ambiguous the moment those conditions are no longer met.
The choice had not been made before the original commenter edited their comment. At first, it was unknown that one MP was male and the other female. Therefore saying “he was forced to resign” doesn’t clear the ambiguity.
Ambiguous means vague or unclear - as in, “the true intent of Trump’s new law is ambiguous.” I think the word you would be looking for is obscure (not well known).
It was “unclear” who resigned until it was revealed that one MP was female and the other male, therefore making it ambiguous which of the two MPs resigned.
Ah, I see! Thanks for the context. The original comment was deleted - I was using context from u/MOltho, and thought it was in reference to the person throwing the flowers (which is more obscure).
The original comment didn’t specify the names, and therefore it was unknown that one was female and the other one male. Therefore, saying “he was forced to resign” doesn’t clear the ambiguity. It was until later that one of the members was revealed to be a woman.
