“Not a voice should go to the National Rally”had hammered Jean-Luc Mélenchon to his constituents. Since then, the militants of La France insoumise have been consulted. They chose about 38% the blank or null vote.
In the municipalities to the east of Lyon (Rhone)Jean-Luc Mélenchon came out on top in the first lap, sometimes with more than 50% voices. But what will his voters decide next Sunday, April 24? “Choosing between the plague and cholera is a bit difficult”replies Albert Nigracity councilor (BIA). Vote for the candidate of the National Rally, some still ask the question. A merchant will vote for Marine Le Pen in the second round, a choice led by the subject of pensions. “I can’t work until I’m 65, I’m already tired, my arm hurts, I hurt everywhere”he replies.
Pass from Jean-Luc Mélenchon to Marine Le Pen: the position is however rare in neighborhoods where many have an immigrant background. A mother and her 24-year-old daughter will vote for Emmanuel Macron, shocked by Marine Le Pen’s position on wearing the veil. For her part, Zohra Khellasfervent supporter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, will not vote on Sunday for the first time in her life. “I do not find myself at all, neither in the program of one, nor in the program of the other”she admits.
