The unsuccessful candidate for the second round of the presidential election Marine Le Pen sets the objective of obtaining “at least 60 deputies” from the RN in the legislative elections in June.
Marine Le Pen sets the goal of obtaining “at least 60 deputies” from the RN in the June legislative elections in order to have the means to be able to weigh in the future National Assembly. “My ambition is to obtain the translation of the presidential election,” said the candidate who reached the second round, in an interview to be published on Saturday in Le Figaro.
Noting that RN voters “are mobilized with the wish to go and vote”, she believes she can “have very good surprises” in the polls of June 12 and 19, even if “it is very difficult today to assess the number of elected deputies.
“It is not just a question of having a group. But of having all the means which are made available to the opposition in a living democracy. Like, for example, the power to seize the Constitutional Council Which means at least sixty MPs,” she says.
Marine Le Pen justifies the decision not to conclude an agreement with Reconquest! of Eric Zemmour by “too important strategic differences”. “We have a historic responsibility: not to let a part of the French fall into the hands of racialists, indigenists and wokists who explain to the worker on the minimum wage that he is an oppressor. We want to bring together, at the same time, the voters of the national camp, the patriots on the left and the Bonapartist right. Éric Zemmour abandons a whole part of this electorate to Jean-Luc Mélenchon”, she explains.
She is running for a new term.
“He drops the popular electorate at the risk of inflating a red wave which would transform the National Assembly into a ZAD. He has an irresponsible position and is not in a rallying position”, according to her.
Asked about her future, Marine Le Pen confides that, “a priori”, that is to say “barring an exceptional event”, she will not be a new presidential candidate in 2027. “A priori, I think that three presidential elections, it’s already a journey”, she adds, wishing “to see a new elite emerge” in her camp.
Marine Le Pen, who launched her party on Wednesday in the battle for the legislative elections, is herself seeking a new term as MP for Pas-de-Calais. She plans to criss-cross her constituency this weekend.
