In France, voters were called to the polls on Sunday June 12 for the first round of legislative elections. It is the coalition of left-wing parties, the New Popular and Social Union (Nupes) which comes out on top with a narrow lead. She won 25.75% of the vote. Just behind, the presidential majority won 25.66% of the vote. In third position: the extreme right. 19% of the votes go to the National Rally. In fourth position, Les Républicains won only 13.2% of the vote. But the main lesson of this election is abstention. More than one in two French people (53%) did not vote. Erwan Lestrohan, consulting director of the Odoxa polling institute, delivers his analysis on this first round.
