At the end of the first round of the legislative elections, the presidential majority came in first by a very narrow lead: only 21,000 votes difference with Nupes carried by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Thanks to a better reserve of votes, the presidential camp should win in the second round, but could well inherit a relative majority in the Assembly, a situation unprecedented since the legislative elections of 1988. What can happen during of this in-between rounds?

What room for maneuver for the two large blocs?

What future consequences on political life?
