The electoral campaign in the home stretch, the polls are tightening

Published on: 09/06/2022 – 14:48 In the home stretch of a funny campaign, Emmanuel Macron continued the battle on Thursday in the field of security during a trip to the Tarn, hoping to mark his difference in front of a left in full dynamics. Three days before the first round, the polls give the presidential camp and Nupes neck and neck.

The president met there with members of groups intervening against domestic violence, narcotics, and in the viticulture sector, who presented their means of intervention to him. Gaillac will welcome one of the 200 new gendarmerie brigades (three in the Tarn ) promised during the presidential campaign. These new brigades “will offer residents public services such as filing a complaint or receiving victims and will strengthen the presence of law enforcement in peri-urban and rural areas”, explains the Élysée. campaign focused on security After a visit to Clichy-sous-Bois on Wednesday on the theme of sport, the Head of State “wants to show that he is not giving up anything, neither to the far right nor to the far left, whether in terms of youth or security,” argues an adviser. On Wednesday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon joked about the “panic on board” of the “macronie”. “Be afraid, Mélenchon is aggressive, he will eat your children,” he said. For several days, the presidential camp has focused its attacks on the leader of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes). “Do you want order in the streets, or do you want (…) a political leader who wants to be Prime Minister tomorrow and would indict (the police?)”, asked the voters Aurore Bergé, deputy president of the group La République en Marche (LREM) at the National Assembly, Thursday on Cnews. Before going to a market in Agde (Hérault) on Thursday, Marine Le Pen, candidate National Rally (RN) in the Pas-de-Calais, was ironic for his part on the visit of Emmanuel Macron in the Tarn. “He can put his feet up against the wall before the elections” but he has “zero credibility” on security, she argued. “It all depends on the reports” of votes Since Sunday, the presidential camp has been carefully observing the breakthrough of the left united under the banner of Nupes – La France insoumise (LFI), Socialist Party (PS), Europe Écologie-Les Verts (EELV), French Communist Party (PCF) – during the first round of elections for the French of the stranger last Sunday. The “totally flat encephalogram” hitherto of the balance of power succeeds in fact “a beginning of dynamics rather in favor of Nupes and an erosion of Together! (LREM, Modem, Horizons and Agir)”, underlines Brice Teinturier , managing director of Ipsos. An Ipsos-Sopra Steria poll published Thursday shows that Nupes, up slightly to 28%, would be ahead of the presidential camp (27%) in voting intentions. Credited with 260 to 300 seats, Together! has no certainty of obtaining the absolute majority of 289 seats, while the Nupes could win 175 to 215 seats. Brice Teinturier however underlines the “fragility” of these projections. “It all depends on the reports” of votes between the two towers, with “40 to 50 seats (which) can rip from one block to another”, he warns.
