Marine Le Pen may have fun betting that she would do better in the legislative elections than to the presidential election in the 11 e district of Pas-de-Calais, where she roars her re-election. The outgoing deputy had convinced 45.15 % of the voters in the first round of the race at the Elysée. “The voters of the 11 e district of Pas-de-Calais placed me at 55 % [53.96 % in reality] of the votes”, welcomed the outgoing deputy during A speech in Hénin-Beaumont, Sunday June 12. The low participation prevents him from being renewed in the National Assembly in the first round. She thus called “all [her] voters to confirm and amplify their vote” where candidates national rally (RN) will be qualified for the second round, in order to “send a very large group of patriotic deputies to the new National Assembly “.
A failure was difficult to design for the owner of the national rally, which had won the legislative election in 2017 in the second round, with 58.60 % of the votes. At the time, the constituency had given him almost the same score as in the second round of the presidential election (58.17 %); However, this year, the far -right candidate has increased her advance on Emmanuel Macron by more than five points, to 63.41 %.
firmly implanted
In addition to three presidential campaigns, Marine Le Pen, 53, is a regular on legislative battles. She first presented herself in Paris in 1993, where she was beaten in the first round. She then reached three times in the second round in Pas-de-Calais, in 2002, 2007 and 2012, without managing to win. Finally, in 2017, she won a seat at the Palais-Bourbon. In the meantime, she will have been a regional councilor, first in Ile-de-France then in Hauts-de-France, departmental councilor of Pas-de-Calais, and European deputy.
Now solidly established in Pas-de-Calais, Marine Le Pen had carefully crisscrossed the department in the last days of her campaign for the Elysée, delivering in particular, during her meeting in Arras, one of his speeches most virulent.
Faced with it, the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union has invested Marine Tondelier (23.43 %), regional councilor of Hauts-de-France and municipal opposition councilor in Hénin-Beaumont, city led by the National Rally In the person of Steeve Briois. She already faced Marine Le Pen in 2012 and 2017, each time without success (1.60 % and 3.55 % of the vote). In 2017, Marine Tondelier was to deal with the competition on the left of the Socialist Party and Insoumise France, which this year rose behind.
La République en Marche (LRM), for its part, has invested Alexandrine Pintus. In 2017, she had already fought Marine Le Pen, under the colors, then, of the Les Républicains Party (4.18 % of the votes). In 2017, LRM had invested Anne Roquet, who had arrived second in the first round with 16.43 % of the vote. In the second round, the republican front had given him 41.40 % of the votes, too little against the powerful figurehead of the RN.
