08:16 : Due to withdrawals, three Nupes candidates, including Clémentine Autain, will be the only candidates in the second round of the legislative elections. Here are the constituencies concerned: the 4th and 11th constituencies of Seine-Saint-Denis and the 4th constituency of Guadeloupe.

07:49 : “There are no obvious voice reservations.”

The left-wing parties, already united before the first round, cannot really come together for the second. Nupes thus risks finding itself short of voters in the 279 clashes with the outgoing majority, well placed to remain the leading political force in the National Assembly.

07:43 : Neck and neck with the Nupes in the second round of the legislative elections, Together! is now considering what was unthinkable a few weeks ago: winning only a relative majority in the National Assembly. According to Ipsos-Sopra Steria projections released on the evening of the first round, LREM and its allies could obtain between 255 and 295 deputies at the Palais Bourbon. However, the absolute majority threshold is set at 289 seats. Supporters of Emmanuel Macron have only a few days to hope to exceed this fateful bar.

07:41 : It’s a bit of a duel of extremes in the 7th constituency in the Val-de-Marne. On one side, the former minister Roxana Maracineanu for the presidential majority. On the other, a novice in politics, Rachel Keke, chambermaid in life, who wears the colors of Nupes. Atmosphere two rooms, two atmospheres. My report on the spot.

07:11 : We start the press review with Le Figaro and Humanity who are interested in the between-two rounds of the legislative elections. The first looks back at Emmanuel Macron’s intervention on the tarmac before flying to Romania, which “dramatizes the issue of the second round”the second looks at the “Nupe generation”.

07:00 : With 4.2 million votes obtained in the first round of the legislative elections, the RN is making financial progress in addition to the electoral push. Because these elections are also an opportunity for the parties to recover a public grant according to the results obtained. For the National Rally, on the verge of bankruptcy for years, it’s a good deal.

06:04 : We begin with the traditional point on the news.

Last night, Emmanuel Macron spoke about the legislative elections: he called for a “solid majority”, in the name of“higher interest of the Nation”. “The boat sinks, Macron takes the plane”, mocked Jean-Luc Mélenchon at a meeting in Toulouse on Tuesday evening.

• Emmanuel Macron arrived in Romania last night to greet the 500 French soldiers who have been deployed there since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, before a support visit to Moldova on Wednesday and a possible delicate trip to kyiv.

• Russia has called on the Ukrainians to end their “absurd resistance” in Sievierodonetsk and proposed a “humanitarian corridor” to evacuate civilians. Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, urged his compatriots to “hold out” in the Donbass.

Beginning of the general and technological baccalaureate with the philosophy test for more than half a million high school students who will work on three subjects of their choice (two essays and a text commentary) provided for within the framework of the new formula, decided by the former Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer.
