19:07 – A Renaissance-Socialist Party duel also in Villeneuve-sur-Lot for these European elections?
The other uncertainty surrounding these Europeans will be that of the weight of the left after the dispersion of the coalition of Mélenchon and his allies. For the first round of the last legislative elections, in 2022, the Nupes candidacy therefore landed on the first step with 24.29% of the votes in the municipality. Which part will opt for Raphaël Glucksmann’s list, bearing the PS logo, and as very close to Valérie Hayer’s Macronist list in voting intentions during these European elections? Already a candidate five years ago, Glucksmann had gleaned 6.57% in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, compared to 20.04% for the majority list then carried by Nathalie Loiseau.
17:08 – How is the National Rally doing in Villeneuve-sur-Lot before the European elections?
In Villeneuve-sur-Lot, we note that the RN did not rise between 2019 and 2022, Jordan Bardella recording 28.1% at the end of the previous European vote and Marine Le Pen 25.08% in the first round of the presidential election. This context contrasts with what the polls announce today across the country, with almost ten points more predicted for the RN between the last presidential election and the election that concerns us.
15:02 – Those registered in Villeneuve-sur-Lot rather for Le Pen in 2022
The preference of the inhabitants of a municipality is often most evident in the choice made during the election of the head of state. The commune of Villeneuve-sur-Lot voted for Marine Le Pen during the 2022 presidential election since the figure of the former National Front took the lead with 25.08% in the 1st round. However, she lost to Emmanuel Macron in the second round with 47.75% against 52.25%. A month later, the far right was no longer in the majority in the first round of the legislative elections in the commune, accumulating 22.06% of the votes there, compared to 24.29% for the New Ecological and Social Popular Union pair. However, he came back in force in the second round, with 54.66%, against 45.34% for the Nupes pair.
12:45 – Jordan Bardella in front of the others five years ago in Villeneuve-sur-Lot
Looking back once again appears essential when familiarizing yourself with this Sunday’s vote. What did the Europeans say in 2019? It was the RN list carried by Bardella which won the European elections five years ago in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, with 28.1% of the votes cast ahead of the list of Nathalie Loiseau with 20.04% and Yannick Jadot with 10.29%.
11:45 – The socio-economic challenges of Villeneuve-sur-Lot and their electoral implications
The demographic and socio-economic data from Villeneuve-sur-Lot highlight obvious trends that could influence the results of the European elections. With a percentage of 29% of residents aged 0 to 29, and an unemployment rate of 19.37%, young people and job seekers represent crucial demographic segments. In addition, the percentage of owner families (54.77%) underlines the importance of housing and land use planning issues. Income gaps, with an average income per tax household of €21,855/year, are often symptomatic of an increased need for measures to reduce inequalities. Furthermore, the presence of a foreign population of 6.62% and an immigrant population of 10.41% indicates the influence of migratory flows on local demography. Education figures in Villeneuve-sur-Lot highlight varying levels of qualifications, with 37.52% of residents without a diploma, this may indicate challenges such as lack of educational opportunities, dropping out of school or economic difficulties.
10:30 – The first figures on participation will fall this afternoon, what about in Villeneuve-sur-Lot?
To understand a little better the vote of the inhabitants of this city, it is essential to study the results of the latest political consultations. Five years earlier, during the previous European elections, the abstention rate represented 51.6% in the commune of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, to compare with an abstention rate of 57.96% during the 2014 election. Will French abstention in the European elections increase, as was the case in 2009 with a record of 59.37%? Across the entire country, participation was already analyzed in the 2019 European elections. It reached 19.26% at 12 p.m. and only 43.29% at 5 p.m.
09:30 – Analysis of abstention in previous elections in Villeneuve-sur-Lot
The participation rate will undoubtedly be one of the key criteria of the 2024 European election in Villeneuve-sur-Lot. 2 years ago, during the second round of the last presidential election, among the 16,554 registered on the electoral lists in the city, 67.77% went to vote. The participation rate was 70.1% in the first round, or 11,604 people. At the national level, participation was already scrutinized two years ago. It stood at 25% at midday and only 65% at 5 p.m. for the first round, less than in 2017. The war in Ukraine would be likely to reinforce the importance of the election in the eyes of the citizens of Villeneuve-sur- Batch.
08:02 – Elections in Villeneuve-sur-Lot: timetables for the 21 polling stations
The 21 polling stations in the town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot will be open until 6 p.m. to welcome voters. On this election day, the French have not slipped a ballot into a ballot box since 2022, the year of the presidential and legislative elections. In 2019, during the previous European elections, the National Rally obtained twenty-three seats in the European Parliament, as many as Nathalie Loiseau’s list. Among Raphaël Glucksmann (Socialist Party), Marie Toussaint (EELV), Jordan Bardella (RN) who will manage to attract the city’s voters?
