comme le prédisaent les sondages le
rassemblement national est arrivé en
tête au premier tour des élections
législatives en France le parti
d'extrême droite dirigée par Jordan
Bardella a récolté 33 % des voix selon
l'estimation des résultats la coalition
de gauche le nouveau front populaire est
arrivé 2e avec 28 %. on retrouve à Paris
notre correspondante donc Tamara une
victoire convaincante et historique au
premier tour pour le rassemblement
national oui non seulement un score
orque le rassemblement national a
presque doublé le score qu'il avait
obtenu au législatif de 2022 donc on
parle d'une Persée spectaculaire et qui
c'est officiel le met en tête et il est
à partir de ce soir le parti à battre
pour le deuxè Tour donc évidemment il y
a eu des scènes de liè dans toutes les
permanences du rassemblement national ce
soir en commençant par celle où se
trouvait Marine Le Pen qui est la chef
parlementaire du rassemblement national
elle était à
où d'ailleurs elle a été réélue au
premier tour comme
député mais rien n'est encore gagné pour
son prodige Jordan Bardella qui est le
candidat pour devenir Premier ministre
la semaine prochaine c'est vraiment ça
Claudine qui est en jeu je dis rien de
jouer parce que dans la mesure où il y a
et c'est compliqué mais c'est important
dans beaucoup de circonscriptions oui le
RN est arrivriver en tête ce soir mais
le vote est tellement fragmenté que ça
va nécessiter ce qu'on appelle ici des
triangulaire pour le 2ème tour donc des
luttes à trois ici c'est assez rare il y
en a beaucoup cette année donc des
luttes à trois entre le RN la coalition
de gauche qui est arrivée 2è et le Parti
du Centre celui du de la majorité
présidentielle d'Emmanuel Macron donc
Marine Le Pen ce soir quoi que quoi
qu'elle jubilait a été sans équivoque
quand elle est montée sur scène pour
s'adresser au français et plaider sa
cause en lui demandant euh de lui donner
Jordan Bardella une majorité absolue
rien de moins pour que son parti puisse
gouverner mais gouverner sans confusion
sans équivoque et sans compromis on peut
l'écouter en démocratie rien n'est plus
normal et sain que l'alternance
politique pour entamer cette alternance
pour conduire les réformes dont le pays
a besoin il nous faut une majorité
absolue pour que Jordan Bardella soit
dans 8 jours nommé Premier ministre par
Emmanuel Macron
bon Tamara c'est intéressant parce que
cette majorité absolue que veut obtenir
Marine Le Pen va définir la stratégie
des autres partis dans la semaine à
venir
oui et la stratégie elle se résume en
une phrase et c'est de tout faire pour
faire barrage au rassemblement national
le Front populaire cette grande
coalition de gauche qui est arrivée 2è
ce soir appel au barrage ça veut dire
des choix déchirants mais nécessairire
c'est comme ça qu'ils l'ont présenté de
retirer des candidats qui sont arrivés
trè dans des circonscriptions euh pour
maximiser leur chance de bloquer le le
la voie au rassemblement national c'est
la directive aussi qui a été donné par
Gabriel Atal le Premier ministre de la
France qui était visiblement secoué mais
assez combatif il sait qu'il a très peu
de chance de rester Premier ministre la
semaine prochaine mais il refuse de
jeter l'éponge on peut l'écouter la
leçon de ce soir c'est que l'extrême
droite est aux portes du
pouvoir jamais dans notre démocratie
l'Assemblée nationale n'a risqué comme
ce soir d'être dominé par l'extrême
droite et donc notre objectif est clair
empêcher le rassemblement national
d'avoir une majorité absolue au second
tour de dominer l'Assemblée nationale et
donc de gouverner le pays avec le projet
funeste qui est le sien donc la campagne
électorale reprend déjà ce soir jeu
d'alliance désistement on rentre dans
vraiment le cas par cas et la stratégie
on pourrait se retrouver la semaine
prochaine Claudine avec plusieurs
scénarios un gouvernement de l'extrême
droite absolu ou pas ou un gouvernement
formé par le centre et la gauche qui
n'ont pas de programmees commun mais des
intérêts communs c'est du jamais vu la
France Les Français vivent vraiment des
moments inédit merci beaucoup Tamara à
Paris bonne fin de soirée au revoir au
