The fear of abstention

The RN still fears abstention, which particularly affects the working classes and young people, at the heart of its electorate, and had prevented it from winning a single region in 2021. The legislative elections are the “opportunity to bring into the Assembly the only opposition to Macron", estimates the RN.

Marine Le Pen considers that Emmanuel Macron will obtain a majority after his re-election on April 24 as President of the Republic.

"Give yourself the means to defend yourself from the policies of Emmanuel Macron: help us to help you by voting for future RN deputies" on June 12 and 19, which are the dates of the first and second rounds, adds the party.

The RN considers it "possible" to "support purchasing power", to "control immigration", to "guarantee security for all", and to "fail the retirement project at 65" of the head of the 'State.
