Get ready to be surprised by the results of the 2024 European elections in Alsace: The RN could well become the leading party in the region! Discover the impressive establishment that has been making headlines.
A significant breakthrough for the RN in Alsace
Following the 2024 European elections, the National Rally (RN) marks a notable increase in Alsace, positioning itself as a major political player in the region. With 31% of the votes in Bas-Rhin and nearly 36% in Haut-Rhin, Jordan Bardella, the party’s emblematic candidate, makes a significant breakthrough, although his local scores remain below those recorded in other regions of Grand Est and France.
The RN records an overall performance of more than 33% in Alsace, representing an increase of 11 points compared to the previous elections in 2019. However, it is in other regions of the country that Jordan Bardella achieves his highest results. Despite this progress, left-wing parties show disappointing performances, notably with a significant drop in the score for environmentalists, which has decreased to a third of what it was in 2019.
Dominance in Alsace, but contrasting performances
In the Alsatian political landscape, the RN positions itself as an essential actor. The European deputies from the region are now three in number, including representatives from the RN such as Fabrice Leggeri and Virginie Joron. It is noteworthy that the outgoing LR MEP Anne Sander was not re-elected in this election.
Variable results in the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments
In Bas-Rhin, the electoral scores reveal a diversity of trends. In Strasbourg, Manon Aubry from France Insoumise comes out on top with about 21.3% of the votes, propelling the party in certain working-class neighborhoods, where they sometimes exceed 60% of the votes. At the same time, the RN consolidates its positions in traditional strongholds of Alsace and attracts significant support in certain areas of the department.
In Haut-Rhin, Jordan Bardella from the RN dominates the poll with nearly 36% of the votes, thus improving his score compared to 2019. Mulhouse stands out by placing Manon Aubry at the top of the votes, while the RN displays increasing scores in the peripheral areas of the department.
An impressive regional establishment of the RN
The RN shows a growing and impressive establishment in Alsace, reinforcing its presence in the region. Voters seem to express significant support for the ideas promoted by the party, which sees in these results a clear adherence from the population to their political vision.
The rise of the RN in Alsace raises questions about the upcoming political landscape and potential changes in the region. The next national elections could thus be marked by a recomposition of traditional political forces.
