The Minister for Ecological Transition, Amélie de Montchalin, lost this Sunday in the second round of the legislative elections and will therefore have to resign from the government.

The sixth constituency of Essonne therefore goes to his rival from Nupes, Jérôme Guedj, who announced his victory.

The Nupes candidate, Jérôme Guedj, announced Sunday evening on France 3 his victory in the second round of the legislative elections against the Minister for Ecological Transition Amélie de Montchalin in the sixth constituency of Essonne.

The former rebellious deputy of the PS will thus find at 50 a post he already occupied from 2012 to 2014, while the 37-year-old minister, who had been largely left behind in the first round, should leave the government after this defeat. .
