It is ultimately the major event of these legislative elections. Sunday evening, the National Rally created a surprise and thwarted all predictions by bringing 89 deputies into the National Assembly. A record for the party which had no group since 1986. Opposite, Nupes won with 131 elected officials, a threshold below its expectations. Since yesterday, the Insoumis follow one another to denounce this massive entry of the party to the flame and accuse Emmanuel Macron of having caused it.

Manon Aubry threw the first stone. A few hours after the publication of the results, the MEP LFI spoke on social networks to designate the Head of State as “directly responsible for the score of the RN“. “This is the result when we demonize the left, when we confuse it with the extreme right, when we exclude the Nupes from the Republic, when we are unable to say clearly and immediately “not a voice for the RN” !“, she continued.
