It is a nightmare scenario for Emanuel Macron. His troops appear without an absolute majority at the end of the 2022 legislative elections, this Sunday with 577 to 245 deputies, but also without experienced leaders who will lead them in the National Assembly.
Symbols of this historic defeat, two of the people closest to the head of state were beaten on Sunday evening: National Assembly Speaker Richard Ferrand and La République en Marche (LREM) MP Christoph Castaner. The two key parts of his system in parliament were preceded by candidates from the New People’s Ecological and Social Union (Nupes).
One has “Marked” his defeat in his base in Karhei (Finister) with 49.15% of the vote against the socialist Melanie Tomen. The other lost to Insumis Neo Walter by 48.51% in his constituency of Manosk (Alps-de-Verde-Provence). “I acknowledge the result with great pain in my constituency”said Christoph Castaner after the results were published on Twitter. These two first-hour walkers from the Socialist Party (PS) seem to have paid the price for the anti-religious front.
The leadership will be until June 28
Another victim of this disastrous second round for the Macronists is the leader of the Democratic Movement (MoDem) MP Patrick Mignola, who lost to Invisis Jean-François Coulomb by 49.15% of the vote in Chambery (Savoy). The same disappointment in the ranks of the Horizons, where outgoing MP Pierre-Yves Burnazel, who was predicted to be the leader of the announced 26 “Philippine” MPs, lost in Paris to journalist Aymeric Caron (Nupes).
Survivors are rare among most leaders. LREM leader Stanislas Guerini finally saves his seat in Paris իր his portfolio of Minister of Civil Service. Olivier Becht, the leader of the “Working Together” MPs in Mulhouse, won his bet, but he had to unite his troops with the future LREM contingent, which was renamed the Renaissance. As for the other high-ranking officers of the Macron camp, allies Francois Byron and Edouard Philippe, they were not candidates, they will not be present in Pale Bourbon to lead their elected officials.
The issue of majority leadership is central to such a fragmented assembly. On Tuesday, June 28, parliamentarians are due to appoint the chairman of Hemicycle, which is the deadline for forming groups to appoint a leader. The figures in the background will have to go to the front line in the absence of macronia “gornards”. “Layers earn in the trenches.”“Sometimes,” says Richard Ferrand. They can be deceived.
