In the 4th constituency of Sarthe, Marie-Caroline, Marine Le Pen’s sister, is in a duel against the rebellious candidate Élise Leboucher. How will the residents vote?
The Republican barrage is written in pain in the 4th constituency of Sarthe. Sunday July 7, the second round will oppose Marine Le Pen’s sister, Marie-Caroline, to the candidate of the New Popular Front, Élise Leboucher. The latter welcomed the withdrawal of the presidential party and calls on her voters to “to block the National Rally” behind his candidacy.
The majority candidate, who came third, therefore withdrew to prevent another member of the Le Pen clan from entering the National Assembly. For some residents of Sarthe, the blockade is “An evidence”even when they do not identify perfectly with La France Insoumise. But others, close to the right, are wary of this republican front. “We must let anger express itself”complains a resident. Marie-Caroline Le Pen, regional councilor of Île-de-France, surprise candidate in Sarthe, collected more than 39% of the votes in the first round.
