"Nor Macron, nor Le Pen," is the message sent by supporters of the historic leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, just 24 hours before the ballot box is set up for the second round of French elections.
The regulator of the April 24 elections will be the Left of the "Unrepentant" Mélenchon, who managed on April 10 (first round) to obtain 21.9% of the vote, coming in third place.
Consequently, the choice of his left-wing voters in the second round will be decisive for the election result, according to political commentators.
According to the French newspaper "Le Figaro", in a digital poll, supporters of the leader of the "Non-Resistance" had three days to decide the person they would trust in the second round.
According to the results of the digital poll in which 215.292 supporters of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, 37.65% of voters said they would cast a white ballot, 33.4% would vote for the President of France and leader of the Forward for Democracy party, Emmanuel Macron, and 28.96% would abstain.
According to the data, none of the participants trusted the star of the French far-right, Marine Le Pen, clearly following the "line" of the leader of the left.
The white vote and abstention rates are by no means negligible in the "pool" of left-wing voters and are expected to play a role on April 24, which is a major concern for the staff of election favourite Emmanuel Macron.
For his part, France's liberal president, after the first round of elections, is adopting a more left-wing profile, saying that he wants to represent all French citizens and not just the financially well-off, while also emphasising ecological issues.
At the same time, the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, patriarch of the French far-right, promises to improve the daily lives of French people by improving their purchasing power by betting on the vote of undecided and disaffected voters from the Macron government.
