The right indeed comes out of this election with the status of the country's leading political force, since the Republicans and their allies obtained 38% of the votes nationwide, according to the Ifop-Fiducial institute for LCI / TF1.
They are ahead of the union of the left and environmentalists, which resists well with 34.5% of the vote.
A new slap for the party of Emmanuel Macron
Behind, the National Rally is severely affected, with only 20.5%.
This is a real disappointment for the party of Marine Le Pen, who relied on this streak to win one or more regions, and thereby build momentum for the presidential election of 2022.
Finally, as was to be expected, the presidential majority brought up the rear very far behind, with barely 7%. This new slap, after that of the municipal elections of 2020, cruelly confirms the lack of local anchoring from which La République en Marche, the party of Emmanuel Macron, suffers.
