The united gauche Nupes, led by the radical leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, today obtained 26.80% of the votes against 25.80% of the Ensemble coalition!
by Emmanuel Macron in the first round of the French legislatures.
These are the results of the first exit polls released by French TV.
The first projections in seats still give the macronist majority the possibility of maintaining an absolute majority, assigning Ensemble!
between 270 and 310 seats.
170-220 seats would go to the Nupes gauche (Jean-Luc Mélenchon).
The absolute majority is set at 289 seats.
Voter turnout in the legislative elections in France still drops, at 5 pm calculated by the Ministry of the Interior at 39.42%, down by 1.3 points compared to the same time in 2017, when it had reached
historic lows
.
By noon, the drop was 0.8% compared to 5 years ago.
The French began to vote at 8 for the legislative which
will renew the Parliament
and give a new majority to the re-elected president Emmanuel Macron.
With his centrist coalition Ensemble !, the president risks - according to the polls - to lose the absolute majority set at 289 seats, due to the strong increase of Nupes, the left united under the aegis of the radical "tribune" Jean-Luc Mélenchon .
