“Surprised“obviously, both. In the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the two deputies obviously did not expect to have to go back to the countryside next week.
“That’s very good news“, said Christian Girard, National Rally deputy for the first constituency of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
“Unless there are counter orders from Paris, I am going back to campaign, and I expect an RN majority in the National Assembly“, says the far-right elected official. “I expect a difficult campaign“, he adds, also announcing an RN candidacy in the second constituency of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. It is in this territory that Léo Walter was elected in 2022 under the Nupes banner.
He too will be a candidate: “We go back into battle tomorrow“, he said this Sunday evening, deploring “a dangerous poker move from Emmanuel Macron“.
“Isn’t the aim of this dissolution to give power to the RN?“, asks the deputy, spearhead of LFI in this rural department. For the left, in this rural territory the question of the alliance of the left will arise: a dissident candidacy was presented at the polls in the 1st constituency in 2022.
In the Hautes-Alpes, MP Pascale Boyer, elected in 2017 and 2022 under the presidential party label, said:surprise“by this dissolution… adding”not to be sure“to succeed in retaining his seat in the Assembly.
