If in France, opinion polls show an increase of the RN to nearly 15 points in the 2024 legislative elections compared to its result in the previous legislative elections (which would theoretically bring Jordan Bardella’s party to 15% in the municipality), we nevertheless note that the party has visibly gained only 2.9 points more between the 2019 European elections and the 2024 European elections on site. The explosion of the RN could therefore be less powerful locally.
