A blunder, a missed opportunity: a sign that the Macrons’ friend already felt that the fight was slipping away from her in this constituency where the RN had blazed in the European elections to the point that its candidate, Monique Griseti, who was hardly seen on the ground, won over 45.5% of voters; a sector where the left, embodied by Pascaline Lécorché, a close friend of Raphaël Glucksmann, managed to win over 26.9% of them yesterday.
Arriving third, with 23.6% of the vote, a score that qualified her for the second round, the minister, entrenched with her campaign team on the first floor of her office in Saint-Barnabé, waited until 11:30 p.m. and the counting of more than two-thirds of the offices in her constituency to make a statement.

It was not even imaginable that I would think of maintaining myself“, she immediately announced, recalling that in the 2022 legislative elections, while her victory against the RN was only 479 votes away,”the Nupes candidate, Thibault (Rosique) had called to vote for me.“
