Mayoría de Macron amenazada en las elección francesas
June 14, 2022 -
La alianza de izquierda de Jean-Luc Mélenchon va casi empatada conla coalición centrista del presidente Emmanuel Macron rumbo a
la segunda vuelta de las elecciones legislativas del domingo.
First round results showed Mélenchon’s alliance – the New Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nupes) – and Macron’s centrist Ensemble (Together) were the main winners from the vote on Sunday, and would be the two biggest groups in France’s National Assembly, according to the Financial Times.
Mélenchon’s success, however, is unlikely to translate into a majority in the 577-seat assembly, because moderate voters wary of his reputation as an extreme-left, Eurosceptic firebrand are expected to rally to Macron’s side in the second round on June 19, the FT said.
