The dissolution of the National Assembly and the calling of new legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 caused a political crisis in France. After a week of intense negotiations within the staffs of the different parties, the official lists of candidates who will line up on the starting line in two weeks must be submitted this Sunday before 6 p.m.
On Saturday, across the country, between 250,000 and 640,000 demonstrators marched to express their opposition to the far right and this Sunday, a few rallies are still announced. On the left, LFI experienced a psychodrama following the ouster, among the official investitures, of several executives considered to be rebellious, such as Raquel Garrido. The trust placed in Adrien Quatennens, convicted of domestic violence, also caused controversy, before he finally gave up this Sunday.
The majority launched a media offensive, led by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, by unveiling a program for the middle classes. For the RN, largely in the lead according to a survey published on Saturday, the closing of applications will make it possible to judge the rallies led by the contested president of LR Eric Ciotti. Jordan Bardella announced that there would be “a common candidate” “in 70 constituencies”, but the Nice resident does not seem to have succeeded in taking national figures with him.
