Legislative 2022: unheard of in Paris, LR and PS striped from map

The capital is now divided, in the Assembly, between environmental deputies and “rebellious” and macronist deputies.

No more deputy Les Républicains (LR) in the city which was that of Jacques Chirac. No more socialist in that of Anne Hidalgo. In Paris, the “world before” is definitively buried. The two major parties which have long structured French political life, and each gave several mayors to the capital, are now deleted from the Parisian landscape as reflected in the new National Assembly. Instead, half of macronist deputies, another of elected environmentalists and “rebellious”. A new right and a new left, in a perfect face-to-face. This is the spectacular assessment of the second round of the legislative elections in Paris.

In relation to the previous legislative elections, the change turns out to be impressive. In 2017, in the wake of Emmanuel Macron’s arrival at the Elysée, his supporters had obtained brilliant results in Paris. Over the eighteen constituencies at stake, twelve had been won over by La République en Marche (LRM), and one by the modem. A fourteenth was to return to them later, with the rallying of Pierre-Yves Bournazel (LR). A real raid. The classic left and right, they could only keep two constituencies each.

Five years later, the election of June 19 clearly rebalances the game. carried by the dynamics of the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union (Nuts), the left takes up seven constituencies by the presidential majority, and obtains a total of nine deputies on eighteen. During the negotiations on the investitures within the Nuts, the negotiators had estimated that nine Parisian districts were won. Contract completed.

Four outgoing macronist deputies, Laetitia Avia (8 e ), Buon Tan (9 e ), Anne-Christine Lang (10 e ) and Pierre-Yves Bournazel (18 e ), must leave their place. The presidential majority, however, limits breakage. Two candidate ministers in Paris get their ticket to the assembly. Stanislas Guerini saves its headquarters 51 % against the ecologist Léa Balage El Mariky. A equally narrow victory (50.73 %) for Clément Beaune, confronted by lawyer Caroline Mecary (LFI). A success for the two men, given the delay they accused after the first round. Neither will have to leave the government. Government spokesperson Olivia Grégoire, she is re-elected without a blow (68.51 %) in the 12 e district, just like Sylvain Maillard (1 ^re ) and Gilles le Gendre (2 ^{e ).}
