- The results of the first round have been ratified and improved by the left in the fifth district spanning from Bokale, Angelu and Baiona to the surroundings of Gixune and Akamarre: with 62.64% of the votes it has taken more than twenty-five points to the extreme right of the National Union (37.36%).
The New Popular Front (FHB) has comfortably won the second round of the French legislative elections in the fifth district of the country. In this district spanning the large coastal cities, such as Baiona or Angelu, and the towns of the interior, the National Union (RN) has only won in Gixune, for a very small margin, and in the other municipalities the left has won.
Colette Capdevielle's candidacy won 40,607 votes, 62.64% of the total, and almost doubles the results of a week ago (22,643).
Participation in this district has been very similar to that of the first week, so 70.72% of the citizens who were called have come to the polls.
In the first round, the FHB achieved 32.30% of the votes, almost five points above the far right (27.54%). Florence Lasserre (Ensemble), ruled by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, was very close to the second place (26.63%), but decided to withdraw his candidature following the slogan of his party. Of the three districts occupying Ipar Euskal Herria, only in this district have the far right and the left competed, alone, in front of each other.
Of the three districts occupying Ipar Euskal Herria, only the extreme right and the left have competed in this one, in front of each other.
But I was about to see where the voters of the Ensemble would go and what the voters of the other right-wing parties who had not reached the minimum rate for running for the second round would do. Capdevielle, a moderate side of the Socialist Party, far from the image of the ‘radical left’ that has been the media, seems to have attracted many of those voters and won those thousands of votes, with a historic result.
The map of the first lap has been turned
Village to village, in the fifth district it can be seen that the left has achieved very good results in the most populated towns and cities on the coast; in Baiona, for example, the citizens who have supported the FHB (14,397) are twice the right of the RN (7,097).
Although the competition inside has been more moderate, the color has turned – in the first lap the RN was the first force in most of them – and the FHB has been imposed, except in Gixun, where the RN has won by only five votes.
