I wouldn't say that we make a better distinction between the two types of elections. I think what happened now was a "knee jerk reaction" to our last legislative elections in which we saw such a high increase of the far right. That coupled with the fact that the main person leading the left vote was the former health minister that was largely responsible for guiding us through the pandemic, was a good push in that left vote mobilisation in my opinion.
