Dissident candidates on the left, local alliances between the right and the majority, rallying of LR to the RN… everything should be known on Sunday evening, if not necessarily clear after several days of confusion.
Across the country, 640,000 people demonstrated, including 250,000 in Paris, according to the CGT union, against the far right. Figures far below the mobilization of May 1, 2002, when more than a million people took to the streets to say “no” to the National Front after Jean-Marie Le Pen qualified for the second round of the presidential election. Other gatherings are planned for this Sunday, June 16.
Gabriel Attal promised on Saturday several measures in favor of purchasing power in the event of victory for the presidential camp in the early legislative elections of June 30 and July 7, where the far right is the favorite.
For his part, the captain of the French men’s football team Kylian Mbappé declared on Sunday that he was “against extremes, ideas that divide” about the next legislative elections, which will take place on June 30 and July 7.
