five candidates elected in the first round

The first round passed and here they are already propelled on the benches of the National Assembly. They are four in number for the Nupes, all are winners in the Paris region. Alexis Corbière and Danièle Obono renew their mandate, unlike Sarah Legrain and Sophia Chikirou. First scouting for these two elected officials and the opportunity to receive their parliamentary badges. Sarah Legrain largely won in her riding, so it will be a question of staying the course: “The message is we are here. We are the first, but the others will arrive next Sunday. We are at a tipping point in the country”.

Same observation for Sophia Chikirou, who calls for a start next Sunday. “I hope they say to themselves that it is possible to have a majority of the New People’s Union. It is possible to retire at 60. The Smic at 1,500 euros. The guarantee of autonomy-youth”, she hammers. For his part, Yannick Favennec is back for a fifth term in Mayenne, under the Horizons label, the party of Édouard Philippe. “I have a broad conception of my mandate. I want to work with everyone. I pride myself on working in a good state of mind”, he points out. Sunday, the other deputies will join them, but no one knows if Emmanuel Macron will manage to obtain a majority in the National Assembly.
