Less than a week before the first round of the presidential election, we have rarely seen such a calm electoral campaign. On the Hayange market, you have to look for them to find the activists with leaflets in hand. A funny presidential campaign that also impacts the upcoming legislative elections. Two months before an election (June 12 and 19) often synonymous with a record number of candidacies, the contenders for deputy for the 8e constituency of Moselle

The RN on the moveLong bastion of the left, the 8 e
constituency swung towards the presidential majority in 2017. Brahim Hammouche (Modem) winning against the FN candidate, Hervé Hoff. Left parties still divided and abstention helping, history could repeat itself.

If the outgoing deputy has not confirmed that he wants to return there, his candidacy leaves little doubt for observers of local politics. But the RN intends, this time, to play its card. Fabien Engelmann, attached to his post as mayor of Hayange, will be alternate. The frontist headliner is not officially declared, however, Laurent Jacobelli, president of the RN group in the Region, is increasingly present in the territory of the constituency.

Facing the RN, Brahim Hammouche is however far from uniting other political forces. The parliamentarian, defeated in the last cantonal elections, is struggling to find the support of local elected officials. Like Rémy Dick, the mayor (LR) of Florange, who ensures that his support will go “to the most credible candidate to beat the outgoing deputy”. If he welcomes the nomination promised by his party to a young candidate, Raphaëlle Rosa, the Florangeois still pleads to see “a depoliticized territorial candidacy” emerge. A scenario also considered on the side of the PS. Except in exceptional circumstances, Michel Liebgott does not intend to run again for the post of deputy. The adventure could tempt his deputy to Fameck, Alessandro Bernardi, only if the opportunity for a rally on values becomes clearer. In any case, nothing will be decided before the result of the presidential election.
Candidates on the track
Others bet on the contrary on a dynamic initiated by their presidential candidate. The PCF thus invested Céline Dreystadt, municipal councilor in Algrange. The Thionvilloise Manon Pellicori will defend the EELV program. On the side of rebellious France, Gilles Wobedo will not be in the running, but several applicants may want to capitalize on the votes collected by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. In Moyeuvre-Grande, Lokmane Benabid has just shown his support for the FI candidate. The name of Bertrand Mertz has also been whispered, even if the lawyer, former mayor of Thionville, has retired from the political scene. the 8
-econstituency of Moselle includes the communes of the cantons of Hayange, Moyeuvre, Fameck, Algrange, Fontoy and the commune of Terville.
