Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally, considered it possible this Friday that his party "won the first round" of the legislative elections and "prevents Emmanuel Macron from having an absolute majority" in the National Assembly, unlike what the polls predict.

The favorable polls

According to the latest Ifop-Fiducial barometer for LCI published on Tuesday, the RN would obtain 20 to 50 seats at the end of the second round, against 275 to 310 seats for Together!, the confederation of parties of the presidential majority, and 170 to 205 for the New popular, ecological and social union (Nupes), associating LFI, EELV, the PCF and the PS.

“I think that today we are able to come first in the first round of the legislative elections and perhaps prevent Emmanuel Macron from having an absolute majority”, however estimated Jordan Bardella on Friday on BFMTV and RMC.

Highly placed goals

Sébastien Chenu, RN deputy from the North and spokesperson for the party, maintained on Public Senate the objective of "100 to 150 deputies" RN at the end of the second round of June 19, while the RN, which currently has seven deputies, one of whom is related, must obtain 15 elected members to form a group.

Former presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who is herself running for deputy in Pas-de-Calais, for her part said on Cnews that the RN was "the first political movement in France", being given that Together!

and Nupes are coalitions of several political movements.
