The RN is in the lead with 38.24% in the first constituency. From the first results, in her campaign HQ in Périgueux, the outgoing LFI MP Pascale Martin, New Popular Front, who came in second position (29.42%) ahead of Clément Tonon, Horizons (24.30%), called for a barrier republican.
Stunned by the RN results that were “hard to swallow”, Pascale Martin announced that she was “entering resistance”. “We have no other choice against the RN, I will contact Clément Tonon tomorrow to ask him to withdraw. Tonight, I am reading the results. I imagine that he is a man attached to republican values, I think I can communicate in a correct manner”, testifies the NFP candidate.
Tom, 24, activist, wants to keep hope “despite the uppercut”, “second is the lesser evil”, he wants to believe. When Sébastien, 33, shudders at the idea that in the country at the origin of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, the RN could come out on top. Annoyed that the LFI scarecrow is being raised, Pascale Martin claims a nuanced commitment “within a transpartisan left union, far from the sound and the fury”.

By calling on his voters not to vote “neither for the RN nor for LFI” in the second round, the former prime minister gave him “an additional reason to consider maintaining his candidacy in the second round”, ventured the he said, taking leave of the journalists to join his campaign team gathered at the Garden Ice café in Périgueux.
Was the decision debated among Ensemble members? After a two-hour meeting to which the press was not invited, the young enarque decided to maintain his candidacy against Nadine Lechon and Pascale Martin. He justified his choice in a long press release.
