These last seven days have been instructive: a game of alliances and strategies of all kinds, all the parties are organizing to put all the chances on their side in order to win a majority for these new legislative elections.
A week of multiple twists and turns and behind-the-scenes negotiations has passed since the dissolution of the National Assembly on the evening of Sunday June 9. All the candidates have declared themselves and we can already learn the first lessons. First, constituencies without majority candidates: out of 577 constituencies, the parties which support the president do not present a candidate everywhere.
And this, for a tactical reason, explains Gabriel Attal. “In these constituencies, which number a few dozen, we made the choice not to send a candidate to ensure that we block the extremes”. Exactly 65 constituencies are affected. Among the candidates from both the left and the right thus favored by the majority, we find the socialist Jérôme Guedj, the LR Vincent Jeanbrun, and even Michèle Tabarot, pillar of the Republicans. As for the candidate ministers, there are exactly 24 of them running for these legislative elections.
