In Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), where the abstention rate reached 35.35% to second round of the presidential election, Sunday, April 24, a candidacy of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France insoumise) is expected for the legislative elections. “What is striking is the abstention rate in Marseille. Nearly 50% did not go to vote in certain districts in the north of the city”explained journalist Mathilde Gracia, Monday, April 25, live from Marseille.
“Those who went to vote overwhelmingly chose Emmanuel Macron, who won 60% of the vote, against 40% for Marine Le Pen, who still comes first in two districts here. Jean-Luc Mélenchon had been largely chosen during the first round. Will he himself be a candidate for the legislative elections? He should make his decision this week”concluded the journalist.
