Discover the latest developments in the legislative campaigns in Marseille and Melun. From defamation allegations to political mobilizations, learn how key candidates are navigating these turbulent times.


Defamation Allegations in Marseille Legislative Campaign

Two candidates from the New Popular Front in Marseille have announced their intention to file a complaint after discovering defamatory banners labeling them as 'Hamas candidates' on their posters. Pascaline Lécorché and Pauline Rossel, representing the New Popular Front in the first constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône, are facing severe accusations from their far-right adversaries. Lécorché, the general secretary of Place publique, expressed her shock and determination to continue their campaign without resorting to invective and denigration.

Bayrou's Support in Melun Amidst Political Tensions

In Melun, Arnaud Saint-Martin, a candidate from the New Popular Front, encountered François Bayrou, the founder and president of MoDem, who was there to support the outgoing deputy Aude Luquet. The political atmosphere is tense with the dissolution of the National Assembly and the upcoming legislative elections. Bayrou's visit aimed to rally support for Luquet amidst fears of a duel between the RN and NFP in the second round.

The Broader Political Landscape in France

The political landscape in France is marked by significant shifts and alliances. In Melun, a transpartisan text has been signed by various local leaders to support Aude Luquet against the extremes represented by the RN and NFP. This mobilization reflects a broader concern about the future of French society and the values it upholds. The upcoming legislative elections are seen as crucial in determining the direction of the country, with candidates emphasizing the importance of unity and responsible governance.

  • The public prosecutor of Marseille, Nicolas Bessone, has not yet responded to the complaint filed by Pascaline Lécorché and Pauline Rossel. The candidates remain steadfast in their commitment to a clean and respectful campaign.
  • In Melun, François Bayrou's presence was both a show of friendship and political strategy. Despite the cheerful reception, there were instances of resistance, highlighting the polarized political climate. Bayrou's call for mobilization and unity resonated with many local leaders who are concerned about the rise of extremist parties.
  • Aude Luquet, the outgoing deputy, emphasized her dedication to her constituency, citing her involvement in various legislative amendments and her commitment to addressing local issues. Her campaign is focused on practical solutions and maintaining close ties with the community.
