New disappointment for the former Prime Minister. Invested by the presidential majority in the 5th constituency of French people living abroad, Manuel Valls announced this Sunday evening his elimination in the first round, a new fiasco for the one who had failed to be elected during the municipal elections in Barcelona in 2019.
“I take note of the results (…) If dissent and division have sown confusion, I cannot ignore my score and the fact that my candidacy did not convince”, he said on Twitter by calling to block in the second round the candidate of Nupes, Renaud Le Berre.
