According to the first estimates, the right -wing formation and its allies would harvest 78 seats, which offers it a second breath and a key situation in the face of the majority.

Christian Jacob, the president of the Les Républicains (LR) party can thank his high star. He, many of whom said that he was going to make the keys to a party reduced to the congruent portion benefits in this second round of the legislative election of a reversal of a situation worthy of a film with twists and turns. LR, which continues to accumulate national defeats and many of which sang funeral oration from the spectacular electoral slap in its candidate on the first round of the presidential election, Valérie Pécresse (4.78 %), could become, in favor This Sunday, June 19, a pivotal element of the functioning of the future parliament. According to the Ipsos Sopra-Steria estimate for France Télévisions, Radio France, France 24/RFI/MCD and LCP, the right-wing formation and its allies would harvest 78 seats. It is certainly not the hundred deputies that LR had managed to send to the National Assembly in 2017, but given the context, the situation is much better than expected for the right -wing party.
Five years ago, freshly elected President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron had obtained a large majority and could afford to ignore the wishes of opposition groups. This time, it will not be. According to the same estimate, the presidential party would only harvest 224 seats.

If Christian Jacob has said for a week for a week that he wants the right to now weigh at its fair value, that it is a “determined and useful opposition force … capable of correcting the texts, making them move” and ” the country “, some may not agree. The group could then tear itself apart, even divide, predict the most pessimistic, in two distinct entities between those who want nothing to do with Macronie and the others. All without counting the political agendas of some influential figures as the president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Laurent Wauquiez, or the outgoing deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Ciotti, if he is re-elected, who will not wish to collaborate in addition measure with the President of the Republic.
