Correspondent. Dissolution, what solutions?
(SPECIAL SENDING / FRANCE 2)
After the results of the European elections and the victory of the National Rally, the Head of State announced the dissolution of the Assembly and called early legislative elections. “Special Envoy” traveled across France to collect citizens’ reactions.
On the evening of Sunday June 9, after the large victory of the National Rally in the European elections, Emmanuel Macron announced the dissolution of the National Assembly by calling early legislative elections on Sunday June 30 and July 7. What reactions in France?
“Special Envoy” returned to Breteuil, in Hauts-de-France, 4,300 inhabitants, where Jordan Bardella convinced more than 50% of voters and the presidential majority only collected 12%. How did they experience these results?
The magazine also returned to Montargis, another town where the RN is in the lead. The Loiret sub-prefecture suffered a night of riots on June 29, 2023, after the death of young Nahel, killed in Nanterre by a police officer. Cars burned, businesses vandalized… the clashes left traces and freed people to speak.
Radically different atmosphere in Toulouse, where the left showed a large victory: 21% for the socialists, 19% for LFI, far ahead of the RN at 13%. From Monday 10, left-wing forces gathered to demand the establishment of a “popular front”. Will they manage to unite?
In Concarneau in Brittany, a region where the RN came out on top for the first time, Christian Pérez has just returned to the express campaign for a deputy mandate. Less than three weeks before the first round, he is multiplying calls and meetings to implement the “Matignon plan” prepared by his party, the National Rally.
In Allier, where more than 15% of the population lives below the poverty line, the magazine also returned to Saint-Palais, a small town which voted 40% for Jordan Bardella.
