The Insoumise candidate Marion Detais still collects 19.33% of the votes. “Marion made a very nice score, she finished second in front of the National Rally“, relativizes Aurélien Petitfils, activist La France Insoumise (LFI).What should be remembered is that the opposition to Emmanuel Macron in Nord-Mayenne is the Nupes.”
