YELLOW VESTS PARIS WEEK 133 5/29/2021
Politics in France isn't just about the presidential race next year regional elections with the first round in three weeks June 20th followed by the second round a week later.
In the south of France Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur (The Riviera) the National Rally runs strong and the question is can it get through the second round with a majority.
Polling shows the RN winning in the 35 to 40 percent range for the first round.
The National Rally leader in this region is Thierry Mariani a former national cabinet minister from "Les Republicans" the traditional party of the "Right" in France.
Supporters of Les Republicans in disarray as some openly identify with the "centrist" Emmanuel Macron and his LaREM party.
This has caused other LR supporters to recoil and they may give the National Rally the winning edge in the end in the southeast coastal region including Marseille and Nice when the second round of voting is held on June 27th.
