This legislative election of 2022 will be very different from that proposed to the French in 2017 according to Emmanuel Rivière, the director of international studies of the Kantar Public institute, who takes stock of the issues of this election on the 23h set of Franceinfo.
For the political scientist, the main difference to highlight is the alliance of left-wing parties and the likely confrontation of the extreme right between the troops of the National Rally and Reconquest: “Divisions are problematic and unions are profitable because they increase the chances of being in the second round”, he points out. For Emmanuel Rivière, if the voters of Marine Le Pen should expect a possible disillusionment, could the NUPES provoke a reinforcement of the participation on the left.
Uncertain legislative elections for Emmanuel Macron
Emmanuel Macron’s objective of maintaining a majority will undoubtedly be more difficult than in 2017, underlines Emmanuel Rivière with this desire for revenge on the part of certain voters, but also by the results of the last five years for the one who was a newcomer in 2017. “I fear that there have not been any great parliamentary moments in fact in the memory of the French during these 5 years”. For the political scientist, there is a fear that the importance of the assembly has gone somewhat unnoticed by voters.
