On France 2, this ally of Emmanuel Macron sharply criticizes the new alliance on the left.
08:34 : The PS has lost its soul and I will not vote for an anti-European and revolutionary sovereigntist radical left coalition with Mélenchon who defended Putin
08:34 : Perhaps it would be necessary to re-read Mélenchon’s program and his previous positions before rushing into a union of the left. Is the proposed path really compatible with what we would like France to be? And a union of facade the time from the distribution of the constituencies and the heartbreaks that will follow during the next decisions in Parliament, is this really what the French left hope? Nupes, isn’t it more like Games of Dupes?

09:05 : Hello @gregparis14. Attention, small Parisian subtlety which can make reading our map complicated in the capital. Constituency numbers do not correspond to boroughs. The 14th constituency of Paris covers part of the 16th arrondissement, an arrondissement where Eric Zemmour came second in the first round, with 17.48% of the vote.
07:48 : Hello FI, how could Éric Zemmour’s party come out on top in the 14th district of Paris when it has just over 6% in the presidential election?
07:33 : These estimates relate only to the first round and do not predict the results of these duels. Gathered in the first round, the left could have problems with the reserve of votes for the second.
07:31 : According to this estimate, the “New Popular Ecological and Social Union” or NUPES is doing very well, and would be present in the second round in 471 constituencies. This is more than La République en Marche (448 qualifications) and than the National Rally which would only have 296 constituencies in the second round. Far behind, Les Républicains and Reconquête would only be second in one constituency each: the 14th in Paris for Éric Zemmour’s party, in Wallis-et-Futuna in the case of LR.
