Still stunned by the unprecedented score of the National Rally, “on the threshold of power” after the first round of the legislative elections, the left and Macronie are calling for withdrawals in the second round, each considering themselves better placed than the other to beat the party chaired by Jordan Bardella. Three weeks after the earthquake of the European elections and the dissolution, the navy blue wave has broken again.
With more than a third of the votes at the national level, the RN and its allies certainly did less than the 36% to 37% announced by the polls in the last days of the campaign. But the party with the flame struck a major blow from the start, by electing 39 deputies in the first round, starting with Marine Le Pen in her stronghold of Pas-de-Calais. The same goes for her lieutenants Sébastien Chenu (Nord), Julien Odoul (Yonne), Edwige Diaz (Gironde) and Laure Lavalette (Var).
As is customary, these newly elected parliamentarians will be able to go to the Assembly from 2:00 p.m., to get their bearings or regain their bearings – and no doubt take a few photos along the way. The far-right delegation could cross paths with that of the 32 elected members of the left-wing New Popular Front, which already includes the rebels Manuel Bompard, Mathilde Panot and Clémentine Autain, as well as the socialist Olivier Faure and the environmentalist Sandrine Rousseau.
