• In the Nord and Pas-de-Calais, the new union of the left (Nupes) and the national rally want to create a surprise during the 1st round of the legislative elections.

  • Two ministers, Gérald Darmanin and Brigitte Bourguignon play big in their constituency.

  • In Lille, two young rising figures of La France insoumise, Adrien Quatennens and Ugo Bernalicis, will try to keep their seat in the National Assembly.

The legislative elections, which take place on June 12 and 19, will they restore the majority to President Emmanuel Macron?

In the Nord and Pas-de-Calais, where the New Union of the Left (Nupes) and the National Rally want to create surprise, nothing is less certain.

20 Minutes

goes around the constituencies where eyes will turn from Sunday evening.

Socialist strongholds

In the North, Nupes is betting a lot on the two constituencies where the young guard of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Adrien Quatennens and Ugo Bernalicis, is running.

In the 1st district (Lille), Adrien Quatennens, presented as the successor to Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the head of France Insoumise (LFI), plays big, in a socialist stronghold where the mayors of Lille, up to Martine Aubry, left their mark.

The head of the LFI obtained 48% of the votes there during the presidential election.

Hint: the candidate for the presidential majority, Vanessa Duhamel, did without the photo of Emmanuel Macron on her campaign poster.

In the 2nd (Lille and Villeneuve d'Ascq), it is another figure of rising Melenchonism, Ugo Bernalicis, who is running as an outgoing candidate.

Facing him, the candidate for the presidential majority is a local figure since it is the indestructible mayor of Mons-en-Barœul, Rudy Elegeest, who has already tested several boxes on the political spectrum.

In this bastion traditionally on the left, the outgoing deputy should do well.

Intact popularity for Gérald Darmanin?

In the 8th (Roubaix and Wattrelos), it is a star of social networks, David Guiraud (more than 100,000 subscribers on Twitter) who will wear the colors of the union of the left.

This parachute hopes to bring down the outgoing deputy (LREM) Catherine Osson.

The 10th (Tourcoing), promised to the right since the dawn of time, should see the triumph, unsurprisingly, of the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin.

Unless the Stade de France controversy comes to chip the local popularity rating of the acting mayor of Tourcoing.

The 19th (Denain) risks remaining in the hands of the RN with a Sébastien Chenu who has become a media darling.

Finally, in the 20th (Saint-Amand-les-Eaux), the result of the communist candidate for the presidential election and outgoing deputy, Fabien Roussel, will be particularly watched.

Marine Le Pen in an armchair?

In Pas-de-Calais, where Marine Le Pen achieved some of her best presidential scores, especially in the former mining area, the RN is in a position of strength.

The president of the RN should renew, without too much difficulty, her mandate in the 11th district (Hénin-Beaumont).

It remains to be seen whether these territories, which have long remained in the hands of the left, will not return there with the new left alliance.

Finally, in the 6th (Desvres and Ardres, near Calais), the new Minister of Health, Brigitte Bourguignon will serve as a target for her opponents and a test to judge the popularity of the government, in a traditionally centrist stronghold.
