There are several readings on the first round of the French early electionscalled by the president Emmanuel Macron after the defeat in the European Championships. What is certain is that the far right of Marine Le Pen e Jordan Bardella he won with 34%, but between now and next Sunday, July 7, the date of the runoff, many scenarios open up.
As expected, the far right wins the first round of the elections in France: scenarios for the run-off
For those living in France, the black wave is still a shock, as our correspondent testifies Lorenzo Battisti. But at least the National Gathering does not have an absolute majority in the first round, as some had hypothesized. The result may have been “calmed” by the high voter turnout, equal to 66%, and by the unity on the left, with the New Popular Frontwhich is the second force with 28% of the votes.
Now there are many scenarios that are opening up and a lot will depend on what the “losers” in the run-off decide to do. The key word circulating at the moment is “desistance”. This is a possible pact between the left and the Macronians to avoid the definitive triumph of the far right in the second round.
