“Emmanuel Macron had called for clarification through the ballot box”, “on the evening of the first round, the clarification is indeed akin to a crash test, a form of self-destructive disaster”, writes our editorial director in our editions of this Monday morning devoted to the results of the first round of these early legislative elections. The rest of the French press is in tune, Emmanuel Macron “made a bet. He lost it. Worse, it is a disaster for his camp”, notes Stéphanie Zorn in the Voix du Nord.

Same observation for Stéphane Vergeade in La Montagne: “It is understood that Emmanuel Macron lost his bet, launched in the solitude of a Sunday evening whose motives remain misunderstood, for a long time”. After the European score, “Clarification was widely desired throughout the debates. Clarification there has been, and not just a little. France is waking up to the unprecedented face-to-face of the two extremes,” said Patrice Chabanet in the Journal de la Haute-Marne.
In the Latest News from Alsace, Pascal Coquis even sees “the end of macronism”. “That the party in power pays the high price for this electoral adventurism is therefore a matter of implacable political and mathematical logic that only the blindness of a head of state completely obsessed with himself will have obscured,” decides -he.
“Republican Front: a week to choose”, summarizes La Croix, which notes from the pen of Séverin Husson, that “the presidential coalition is resisting better than expected and, after having shunned them for two years, it immediately reached out to the Republicans.” “The RN is taking the lead, the response is being organized,” also judges Public Good.
“They already see themselves there”
When our newspaper made this observation on the front page of Jordan Bardella “at the gates of power”, Libé underlined the need to “stand together”. “Only a Republican roadblock will be able to avoid the worst,” adds the left-wing daily. “Standing up” is also the call of L’Humanité. “They already see themselves there. There is still time to stop this,” said Sébastien Crépel on the second page of the communist daily.
Committed local newspaper, La Marseillaise calculated “a week to block his path”, without putting the name of the RN in its title but speaking of a “brown wave throughout the country”. “Towards which republican front? », asks Midi Libre.
At Le Figaro, Alexis Brézet is sharp on the contrary: “Between Bardella and Mélenchon, who, in conscience, would want to put a sign of equality? », asks the editorial director after having analyzed at length Macron’s “disaster”. “The RN program is certainly, in many respects, worrying, but in the face: anti-Semitism, Islamo-leftism, class hatred, fiscal hysteria… Placed, whatever it says, under the domination of LFI, the New Front popular is, in fact, the vector of an ideology which would bring dishonor and ruin to the country,” he takes his position.
For L’Opinion, “the RN surge is bringing the macronie to the ground”. They could have written “en terre”, which shows that a very small word, an “à” or an “en”, can mean so much.
