LIVE – Legislative: Guadeloupe remains on the left, Secretary of State Justine Benin defeated – Liberation

Legislative elections 2022dossierAfter the very tight results last Sunday between the presidential majority and the Nupes, “Liberation” makes you live the second round of the legislative elections this Sunday until the designation of the 577 future deputies of the Assembly. between-two-laps will have been as short as tense. As soon as the results of the first round of the legislative elections were known, placing the macronists and the alliance of the left neck and neck, the invectives rose at the same rate as the mercury in the thermometers. Under the pressure of the good scores of the Nupes and against the background, again, of the rise of the National Rally, the presidential majority braced itself on its “neither far right”, “nor far left”, demonizing Mélenchon and his troop to flirt with the right-wing electorate. Distanced in the polls, the union of the left is trying to mobilize young people who have massively abstained. At stake: the absolute or relative majority of Emmanuel Macron in the Assembly. 11:43 am Stéphane Ravacley, the baker candidate Nupes in Doubs, voted. “A baker in the Assembly”? The slogan could quickly become reality. In the 2nd district of Doubs, Stéphane Ravacley shakes up his opponents with his outspokenness and his unfailing sincerity. He who does not have his tongue in his pocket intends to overthrow the outgoing deputy Eric Alauzet. In the first round, Ravacley came out on top (32.5%), ahead of the majority candidate (31.36%). But on Sunday, the market looks high. Ravacley had acquired a small notoriety in 2021 by leading a hunger strike in support of his apprentice, Laye Fodé Traoréiné, threatened with expulsion. The campaign has been abject at times. Like June 2, where he discovered racist tags and a swastika on one of his campaign posters. If he is elected deputy, Stéphane Ravacley promises it: he will fight tirelessly against retirement at 65. 11:24 a.m. Youth participation, key to the second round. The record abstention from the first round, which risks accentuating the lack of representativeness of the Assembly, can be combated by a repoliticization of the campaign, believes Céline Braconnier in an interview with Liberation. For the political scientist, “the second round of the legislative elections will be played out on the participation of young people”. 11:11 a.m. Can I vote without my voter card? This is the eternal question when going to your polling station at each ballot: is the small card stamped at the time of the vote mandatory to slip a ballot into the ballot box? Liberation answers you. 10:54 am In Bordeaux, Hugo votes “so that our dear president does not have full powers”. “At my age, I no longer hope for anything, confides Fatima, 75, leaving a polling station in the Bordeaux hypercentre. But I’ve lived here for 55 years and I’ve never failed in my civic duty. I just pray that a candidate succeeds in improving the daily lives of us all. For Hugo, 30, only one reason got him out of bed this Sunday: “I just want our dear president not to have full power to do what he wants,” stings the young computer scientist. In the 2nd constituency of Gironde, the Green candidate Nicolas Thierry made the best score of the twelve circos for Nupes. With 45.12%, his comfortable lead allows him to hope to take the place of outgoing MP Catherine Fabre (LREM) who came in second position with 32.83%. By Eva Fonteneau, our correspondent in Bordeaux10:26 a.m. Guyanese voters have chosen the renewal (on the left). In the first constituency, which includes the Cayenne prefecture, it is Jean-Victor Castor who endorses the costume of deputy. An activist of the Movement for Decolonization and Social Emancipation (MDES), of which he is one of the co-founders, he is a fervent supporter of the statutory evolution of the territory. In the second constituency, Lénaïck Adam, who was supported by the presidential majority, was dislodged from his seat as deputy by Davy Rimane. The trade unionist, supported by LFI, won 54.12% of the votes cast. During the second round, abstention declined in both constituencies. 9:18 a.m. In Martinique, the Nupes sent two new deputies to the Palais Bourbon. Jiovanny William, Marcellin Nadeau, and Johnny Hajjar, supported by LFI, will discover the benches of the National Assembly for the first time in their political career. They were elected respectively in the first (Centre), second (North) and third constituency (Fort-de-France) of Martinique. Jean-Philippe Nilor was elected for the third consecutive time in the fourth constituency (South). He largely beat his predecessor and former mentor Alfred Marie-Jeanne. The political formation of the former president of the Executive Council of the Territorial Collectivity of Martinique, the Gran Sanblé, was also beaten in all the constituencies of the island when it had succeeded in qualifying its four candidates in the second round. legislative ones. Higher than in the first round, turnout remained very low since just a quarter of voters went to the polls (25.71%, up 4 points from the first round). (Stéphane de Sakutin / AFP) 9:13 a.m. In Guadeloupe, the RN does not transform the presidential test. In the third constituency, the candidate of the far-right party Rody Tolassy failed to win a parliamentary mandate while it was in the archipelago that Marine Le Pen had won her best score (nearly 70%) in the second round of the presidential election. The outgoing MP Max Mathiasin (SE), who came in second in the first round, therefore finally won in this second round (52.12% of the vote). 9:03 a.m. In Guadeloupe, Justine Benin, the Secretary of State for the Sea , defeat. Guadeloupe remains on the left: the only Macronist candidate in the election, the Secretary of State for the Sea and outgoing deputy Justine Benin was beaten, while three elected deputies out of four were supported by Nupes. Abstention was once again very high with less than 28.23% participation. In the second constituency, Christian Baptiste, candidate for Nupes, was elected with 58.65% of the vote against outgoing MP Justine Benin. According to the rule enacted by Emmanuel Macron, any defeated minister will have to resign. In the second round, the most frequent duels will oppose an Ensemble candidate! to a rival of the Nupes. The outgoing majority and the left alliance will clash in 270 constituencies out of 577. Together! will face the RN in 108 of them. The question of the barrage on the far right will also arise in the 62 constituencies where Marine Le Pen’s party will face the Nupes led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. There will also be 25 duels between the RN and Les Républicains, who will also face Nupes in 24 constituencies and Ensemble in 6.8:38 p.m. Yvette, still the first to vote at the Fontaines de Dinan school. As usual, Yvette is the first to drop off her ballot in the ballot box at the Fontaines de Dinan school. “I’m always here at 8 o’clock, since I had the right to vote,” said the 85-year-old lady. Who is sorry: “It’s a shame that so many people don’t go to vote. It’s not going well at all, there’s not enough discipline, no more points of reference, ”finds this former specialist educator. Marty, 25, is the second after Yvette. The caregiver, who leaves work, came to vote before going to bed. He hopes “that we will have an opposition to the President”. The suspense is thin in the 2nd constituency of Côtes-d’Armor, where the presidential camp collected in the first round one of its best scores in Brittany, one of the regions which is most favorable to it. The young outgoing deputy Hervé Berville won 36.91% of the vote there, ahead of the candidate Nupes Bruno Ricard (25.83%).
