In the second constituency of Strasbourg, the outgoing LFI deputy, Emmanuel Fernandez, comes out on top by a wide margin with 43.91% of the votes. He will face Rebecca Breitman, for Ensemble, and Virginie Joron, for the National Rally in a triangular. Beyond local issues, and the particular situation of Strasbourg, he sees in the RN score the fact that “many people in this country massively reject Emmanuel Macron and his deadly policies. I understand this rejection, it is evidenced by the fact that the macronie is disappearing.”
Emmanuel Fernandes considers that the left can still have a relative majority on Sunday July 7: “In a large majority of constituencies, there will be a NFP candidate. And in the others, the instructions are very clear: not a single vote for the RN.”
The New Popular Front has also called its candidates who came third to withdraw to block the extreme right: “The RN is a total scam, economic and social. Public services will not be improved, the enrichment of the richest will continue. We wanted to reintroduce the wealth tax, the National Rally voted against. We have wanted to tax superprofits, the RN refused. It will not solve your daily problems, on the contrary, it will deepen the hatred between each person according to their origin, their skin color, their religion. high for the country.”
