The Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion is in unfavorable tank in the face of the former president of the General Council and Socialist deputy.

For a minister responsible for ecology, it is daring. But does Amélie de Montchalin only have the choice? For her second -round campaign in the 6
She knows it, she plays big. His faultless journey in macronie for five years has earned him today the fifth position in the government of Elisabeth Borne. But it will have to resign if the voters choose the candidate of the new Ecological and Social People’s People’s Union (Nuts), Jérôme Guedj, former president of the General Council and Socialist deputy for Essonne.
Is she worried? “I am extremely combative,” she replied to the world, Tuesday, June 14, on the sidelines of a public meeting. There are a lot of women and men in this territory who voted for Emmanuel Macron on April 10 and abstained on Sunday; many who do not want the project of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “The minister therefore multiplies this week the door-to-door and the tracts. “It’s an exercise of conviction,” she said. “I think it will work. In any case, I do everything for.”

On June 12, the candidate of the presidential majority (together!) obtained 31.46 % against 38.31 % for Jérôme Guedj – she did better than Emmanuel Macron in the first round of the presidential election: he had Gathered 29.86 % of the votes in this riding against 30.72 % for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, then won in the second round with 73.08 % against Marine Le Pen. That day, the left forces (not yet gathered in the Nuts) had collected 41.52 %.
The gap between the two legislative finalists is therefore tighter. At the Elysée, we are more worried about Stanislas Guerini (Minister of Public Transformation and Function, candidate in Paris) and for Clément Beaune (Minister Delegate in charge of Europe, also candidate in Paris) than for Amélie de Montchalin. “She is not beaten, says a relative of the head of state. The risk of defeat has been overvalued. Guedj has no voice reservations for the second round.”
In the first -round campaign, Jérôme Guedj and Amélie de Montchalin opposed speckled Fleurets by getting bid from the agreed accused of “electoral tourism”. The tone has changed. Monday, June 13, on CNews, the minister accused the cloud of “submission to anti -Semitic ideas”, then mentioned “some who were in the socialist party, responsible for the issues of secularism, republican values, [and who] today are stamped NUPPES… NUPPES, where some in the same camp have no difficulty in manifesting with the anti -Semitic Jeremy Corbyn “, former leader of the British Labor Party.
