Marine Le Pen, well ahead in her 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, keeps “the hope of sending a very large group of patriotic deputies to the new National Assembly” on the evening of the first round of legislative elections.
She gathered some 55% of the votes cast… but the votes cast were not enough to offer Marine Le Pen a new mandate in the first round. The leader of the National Rally (RN) came out ahead in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, where she was a candidate for re-election. With record abstention, a sign of an “electoral system out of breath”, Marine Le Pen did not however obtain 25% of the number of registered voters, and had to ask her voters, during her speech on Sunday evening, to return next week “to amplify and confirm the result”.
Same message addressed to the whole territory, where his party gathered 19% of the votes. Visibly satisfied, Marine Le Pen keeps “the hope of sending a very large group of patriotic deputies to the new National Assembly”, to defend “purchasing power and security”. “It is important not to leave Emmanuel Macron an absolute majority, which he will abuse,” said Marine Le Pen, adding: “If you let yourself go, we will enter a tunnel of five years, five years without light”.
Voting instructions
In the constituencies where candidates will oppose the second round Together! (presidential majority) and Nupes, Marine Le Pen invited her voters “not to choose between the destroyers from above and the destroyers from below”, an element of language previously used by the president of RN Jordan Bardella on the set from TF1. Regarding the duels between a Republican candidate and the Nupes or the presidential majority, she called for “voting in conscience”, according to the “patriotism” of the candidate.
