As in 2017, Marine Le Pen did not go away from the Grand Slam in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA). The 113,519 enrollments of the Hautes-Alpes, the least populated territory of the six regional departments and furthest away from the big cities of the littoral, refused this symbolic success by wearing Emmanuel Macron in the first round of a few hundred voices (23 , 78% against 22.84%). Even even the candidate of the National Gathering (RN) behind Jean-Luc Mélenchon (22.87%). This is good M me Le Pen who leaves, once again, largely in the lead (27.59%) of this first voting Sunday in a region still as sensitive to the theses of the extreme region right, and, in the first place, to those affecting Islam and immigration.
If it does not reach 28.16% of 2017, Marine Le Pen Advance, in 2022, Emmanuel Macron of 4.25 points. The opposite, almost accurate, result at the national level. In Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, it loses more than 42,000 votes between the two presidential elections. But this erosion has everything from the trompe-l’oeil. While abstention increased sharply (21.22% in 2017 against 26.19% Sunday, April 10, nearly 106,000 voters less on the region), the RN leader facing reconquest. ! of Eric Zemmour. The other far-right candidate joined by several local frameworks of the LePenist Party – as Senator Marseille Stéphane Ravier – reaches 11.71% of PACA votes. 4,64 points more than its national score.
The few local breakthroughs of Zemmour
Eric Zemmour remains far from the goals of their local lieutenants, but ramps 310,000 votes over the area and succeeds a few breakthroughs. The Var, with 13.25%, offers him one of his best departmental scores, barely advanced by South Corse (13.36%). The former chronicler of Figaro and CNEWS even gets 22.42% of the votes in Saint-Tropez. In Nice, Fief of the member (Republicans, LR) Eric Ciotti, it’s just below the 15% mark. A bar that fighterly crosses in the neighboring town of Cannes (17.31%), or in some municipalities like Cogolin (Var), whose mayor, Marc-Etienne Lansade, is one of his relatives, or Villeneuve-Loubet ( Alpes-Maritimes), led by LR lr Luca. Cities where, if it nibbles on Marine Le Pen, he also clearly enjoys part of the votes who had worn in 2017 on François Fillon.
At the scale of the region, the extreme right candidates – if we add the result of Nicolas Dupont-aignan – cumulate 41.57% of the votes cast. A score to be brought closer to 36.38% obtained less than a year ago, in the first round of the regional elections of 2021 by the candidate Rn Thierry Mariani, in a voting for the familic participation (33.72%). An election that could serve as a laboratory before the second round of April 24: the Alliance around the President, Renaud Muselier, bringing together the Republican Right and the presidential majority, having finally succeeded in bringing it quite widely by launching a clear call to the vote left.
