The National Rally list, of which he occupied first place, obtained 31.5% of the votes, according to our Ipsos estimate, or more than double the votes collected by the presidential majority list.
“The president cannot remain deaf to the message carried by the French.” The head of the National Rally list, Jordan Bardella, called “solemnly” Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and “organize new legislative elections”after his big victory in the European elections, Sunday June 9.
“The unprecedented gap between the presidential majority and the first opposition party reflects a scathing disavowal and a clear rejection of the policy led by Emmanuel Macron and his government”estimated the president of the far-right party, who was the first head of the list to speak after the announcement of the estimated results at 8 p.m.
The National Rally is credited with 31.5% of the votes, according to our Ipsos estimate, compared to 14.5% for the list of the presidential majority led by Valérie Hayer.
“By allowing the National Rally to exceed 30% of the votes, the French have delivered their verdict, and it is final. (…) In an election where the government will have thrown all its forces into the battle, and this up to the President of the Republic, our compatriots have expressed a desire for change, but also a path for the future”, estimated Jordan Bardella, while the far right could record significant progress in other European countries.
