It was a true navy blue wave that swept across France at the end of the first round of early legislative elections, triggered by the dissolution of the National Assembly by the President of the Republic.
While Maine-et-Loire has long resisted the rise of the extreme right, all the National Rally candidates in the seven constituencies remained in the second round.
Several voices are calling for withdrawals in those concerned by three-way races to block Jordan Bardella’s party. The candidates have until Tuesday evening to actually decide whether or not to remain in the race for the parliamentary seat.
The day after the final results, who are the qualified in the constituencies of Maine-et-Loire?
