The first round of early legislative elections put the National Rally in the lead. A breakthrough by the far right that prompted the presidential camp to once again call for a blockade of the RN.
“Not one vote should go to the extreme right”asks Emmanuel Macron the day after the first round of early legislative elections. On the evening of June 30, the National Rally achieved an unprecedented score, which worries the left and the presidential camp, by collecting 33.2% of the votes.
Like the 2017 and 2022 presidential elections, in which Marine Le Pen reached the second round, Macron’s party is calling on voters to block the far right. The clear difference with these two elections is that it is not the presidential party that represents this blockade, but the New Popular Front, which came in second.
What to do in case of triangular?
According to information from RTL, the head of state clarified his position: “We must not be mistaken. It is the extreme right that is on the verge of accessing the highest functions, no one else”he worries. As a reminder, in the event of an absolute majority for the National Rally in the Assembly, Emmanuel Macron will have no other choice but to appoint a Prime Minister from the party founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen. This would probably be Jordan Bardella.
Thus, the head of state calls for “remember that in 2017 and in 2022, on the other side, on the left, everyone carried this message (to block the RN, Editor’s note). Without that, your servant and you would not be here”. Thus, and as Renaissance recalled in a press release published on the evening of June 30, the candidates of the presidential camp are called upon to withdraw in the event of a three-way race if their candidacy is an obstacle to this barrier against the RN.
