19:53 – What will be the postponements for the voices of Nupes in Maubeuge?
Will Nupes, which was dissolved, see its voters at the time turn to the new alliance on the left in the 2024 legislative elections? For the first round of the last legislative elections, two years ago, the Nupes candidacy obtained 23.52% of the votes in the locality. A sum to be completed with the 37% of left-wing voters in the first round of the presidential election which preceded it, i.e. the accumulation of scores from Mélenchon to Hidalgo. At the end of the European elections more recently, Raphaël Glucksmann obtained 7.14% in Maubeuge. However, in the commune, we will also have to count on the 25.56% of Manon Aubry (La France insoumise), the 1.69% of Marie Toussaint (EELV) and the 2.15% of Léon Deffontaine (PC). In other words a sum of 35% this time.
18:42 – Legislative elections which look good for the RN in Maubeuge
It is difficult to clearly summarize all these scores. But some major directions emerge… If at the national level, opinion polls predict an evolution of the National Rally to about fifteen points more in the 2024 legislative elections compared to its result in the previous legislative elections (which would theoretically propel Jordan Bardella’s party close to 40% in the municipality), we note however that the movement has in fact gained only 2 points more between the 2019 European elections and those of 2024 on site. The explosion of the RN should therefore be more measured locally.
