08:23 : ? “Mr. Macron is going to be faced with a very big problem, he will not have an absolute majority, therefore an ungovernable assembly” notes the mayor LR of Meaux @jf_cope ▶ #Les4V #Législatives2022 @Caroline_Roux https://t.co /E1NLsiOskU
08:23 : Asked about this in “The 4 Truths” of France 2, Jean-François Copé rather saw the glass half empty. “Mr Macron will be faced with a very big problem, he will not have an absolute majority, therefore an ungovernable assembly”analyzed the mayor LR of Meaux.
08:17 : As a NUPES voter, I am afraid that a non-majority will lead to an Ensemble-LR alliance, but I am much more enthusiastic about the prospect of a parliament where compromise is more present, where the majority would have much stronger counter-powers in its partners!
08:17 : Well, that would be the practical case of our president’s “at the same time”. A result without a majority would be truly representative of the French people. Yet will our politicians know how to make such a system work? It can no longer be the systematic vote of opposition or membership, but rather a system of discussions, ideas, values and compromises with everyone….we will return from political politics to a nobler sense of political (originally “to take care of the affairs of the city”). What great hope! And Macron, proud of wanting to bring renewal, must succeed in bringing this system to life….complicated!
08:17 : If neither the majority nor Melenchon obtain an absolute majority at the meeting, no law will be passed. Five years wasted?
08:16 : I am a Macronist voter and this prospect of a simple (relative) majority for Together does not upset me at all. This restores voice to the legislative power without a “swaddle” party and will allow the government to draw on good ideas when it comes from the Republican right and the socialists. The President will govern from the center, and all measures in favor of the environment cannot be rejected by ecologists if they are sensible.
08:16 : I asked you earlier for your opinion on the prospect of seeing Emmanuel Macron not benefit from an absolute majority in the National Assembly next Sunday. Some of you are enthusiastic about this idea, others less so.
08:10 : “It is simply unworthy to insult voters, French men and women and political parties in this way, who have nothing to do, either directly or indirectly, with the filthy beast that is the far right.”
Guest of franceinfo this morning, EELV MEP David Cormand had rightly criticized the attitude of the government, which he accused of “not to choose” Between “the far right and a coalition of leftists and ecologists”.
08:05 : The majority had been strongly criticized by the left after having initially mentioned wanting to make choices “case by case” according to the constituencies where the RN would face the Nupes. Guest of RTLhowever, the government spokesperson qualified: “in few cases, which are counted on less than one hand”, the majority will not give voting instructions. This would concern constituencies where left-wing candidates “have anti-Republican positions”according to the spokesperson.
08:00 : “Not a single voice for the RN” in the 58 duels between the RN and the Nupes, says government spokeswoman Olivia Grégoire.
07:55 : Our journalist Miren Garaicoechea had met the candidate during her first-round campaign. Here is his portrait.
07:58 : She has a good chance of being one of the new faces of the left in the Assembly. Rachel Keke, housekeeper of the Ibis des Batignolles hotel in Paris and Nupes candidate, won 37.22% of the vote in the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne. She is ahead of the former Sports Minister, Roxana Maracineanu, the Together candidate, credited with 23.77% of the vote.

07:43 : What do you think of the possibility that President Macron does not obtain a majority in the Assembly? According to an OpinionWay survey for CNews, 58% of French people would welcome this possibility. Feel free to give me your opinion in the comments.
07:42 : According to our projections, the presidential majority should obtain the greatest number of seats at the Palais Bourbon on Sunday. But Together! risk of not obtaining an absolute majority, which would allow it to rely on its only elected representatives to have the government’s bills adopted.
07:31 : The National Rally has achieved a tour de force and has risen to the second round in 208 constituencies, mainly in the north-east of the country. This is almost twice as much as in 2017.
07:29 : On the side of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes), we won a ticket for the second round in 380 constituencies, particularly in the center and large French urban areas. Remember that no leftist candidate has been labeled Nupes by the Ministry of the Interior in Corsica and in the Overseas Territories.
07:28 : The presidential majority thus qualified one of its candidates in 417 constituencies out of 577, half of which came first in the first round, mainly in the west of France. 
07:28 : What are the strongholds of the different political parties in these legislative elections? To find out, my colleagues Brice Le Borgne, Mathieu Lehot-Couette and Robin Prudent have concocted maps showing where the majority, Nupes and RN qualified for the second round.
07:22 : Attention, as in 2017 there may be withdrawals. These triangular will not necessarily take place.
07:22 : In the comments, rightly reminds me that these eight triangular will not necessarily take place, some candidates may withdraw. The submission of applications for the second round will be officially closed tomorrow at 6 p.m.
07:19 : While in 2017 there was only one triangle in the second round, this time eight triangles are expected. In seven constituencies of Hauts-de-Seine, Lot-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Tarn and Nièvre, three candidates from Together, Nupes and RN will compete. In the second constituency of Lot, on the other hand, two left-wing candidates will face a majority candidate.
06:59 : Remember that it was far from easy to be elected in the first round of this election, especially in the context of high abstention. It was not only necessary to obtain more than 50% of the votes cast, but also a number of votes at least equal to 25% of the number of registered voters. It is for example by virtue of this rule that Marine Le Penwho obtained nearly 54% of the votes in the first round in his constituency of Pas-de-Calais, will have to go through a second round.
06:55 : There will only be 572 seats to be allocated in the hemicycle next Sunday. Five deputies were indeed elected in the first round last night. This is for the Nupes of Alexis Corbière (seventh district of Seine-Saint-Denis), Sophia Chikirou (sixth district of Paris), Danièle Obono (seventeenth district of Paris) and Sarah Legrain (nineteenth district of Paris). On the “majo” side, Yannick Favennec was re-elected for the third time with more than 57% of the vote in the third constituency of Mayenne
06:51 : The local press also returns to the legislative elections. Provence prefers to personalize the stakes of the ballot in a battle between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Emmanuel Macron, while The voice of the North prefers to insist on abstention on an unprecedented scale under the Fifth Republic.
06:45 : Do you want to know the results of the legislative elections in your constituency or municipality? Do not hesitate to consult our search engine, supplied with the latest official figures.
06:40 : On the side of the national press, we return of course to the results of the first round of these legislative elections. Release welcomes the “return in force” of the left, while Le Figaro and The Parisian–Today in Francewe insist on the difficulties of the Macron camp to obtain an absolute majority in the Assembly.
06:33 : Important precision concerning these results of the ministry. No left-wing candidate in Corsica/overseas is labeled #Ñupes. Probably because the candidates in question represent the Popular Union there… but not (initially) within the framework of Nupes.https://t .co/uXbBLb15vb https://t.co/IJeAZubQ7y
06:32 : Direction La Réunion to illustrate the anger of part of the Nupes: in the 1st constituency of the island, the outgoing deputy Philippe Naillet is leading the 1st round with 33.5% of the vote. Supported by Nupes, the candidate is considered to be “various left” according to Home Office labeling (which we use in our search engine). Place Beauvau has – to my knowledge – not yet communicated on its methodology in this area. I will of course keep you informed as soon as we know more.
06:26 : ALERT TO THE NEW MANIPULATION OF #DARMANINAWhile the #NUPES achieves 6,101,968 votes (i.e. 26.8%), the Ministry of the Interior only assigns it 5,836,202 votes (i.e. 25.7%) to make it appear artificially #Macron’s party in the lead. Hello Council of State?
06:26 : The “majo” is ahead of a hair on the photo finish. According to the final results published by the Ministry of the Interior, Together! ahead of the left-wing coalition by 21,442 votes in the first round of legislative elections. On the Nupes side, Manuel Bompard does not hesitate to shout at the “handling” from Gerald Darmanin. No left-wing candidate has in fact been labeled Nupes by the Ministry of the Interior in Corsica and in the Overseas Territories.
06:14 : We come back in an article on the difficulty of the presidential majority to give a clear voting instruction in the event of a duel between the RN and the Nupes, which caused a jump on the left.
06:11 : Facing the far right, we will always support candidates who respect republican values. This is your case @Fabien_Roussel. Our line: never give a voice to the far right. https://t.co/KowOW1lvW3
06:11 : Elisabeth Borne tries to extinguish the beginning of controversy. After LREM indicated that it would not give national instructions but would study “case by cases” the constituencies where RN and Nupes candidates oppose each other, the Prime Minister ended up clarifying her position last night. “Faced with the far right, we will always support candidates who respect Republican values”explained the new head of government.
06:07 : We start without further delay with the first point on the news of the day:
• The presidential majority is closely followed by the New People’s Ecological and Social Union, according to the final results of the first round of legislative elections. On the Nupes side, they criticize the figures from the Ministry of the Interior, believing that certain candidates supported by the coalition have not been officially listed as such.
• Emmanuel Macron will he benefit from an absolute majority for his second term as president? It’s not won: according to our estimates, Together! should have between 255 and 295 deputies in the Assembly, and the left coalition 150 to 190.
• a particularly early heat wave is expected from Wednesday in France, with temperatures between 35 and 38°C in the southern half, in a context of drought which is already raising fears for the harvests.
• New day of strike at the University Hospital of Toulouse: the adult emergencies of the Purpan hospital in Toulouse will only be open to “vital emergencies” from this evening. Caregivers are mobilizing to demand an increase in wages and staff.
