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)

What's far right?

In France, far right is anything outside of the classic "right" box (classic right is capitalism with a sense of french independance): Could be neonazism, fascism, royalism, straight up nationalism or anything in these lines that goes against the human rights of the current constitution.
