She had passed nearby in the first round, but for lack of sufficient participation, Marine Le Pen had to wait for the second round, Sunday, June 19, to win in the 11th district of Pas-de-Calais. The former candidate of the National Rally (RN) in the presidential election obtained 63.21 % of the votes, against 36.79 % for the ecologist Marine Tondelier, who presented himself under the banner of the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (NUPPES ).
In this constituency, where M le Pen had already won in 2017, the inter-two-tours campaign was notably marked by the choice of the presidential coalition candidate , Together !, Alexandrine Pintus, to vote white for this second round. Arrival third Sunday June 12 with 12.32 % of the votes, she accused M me cooper of not having “had republican behavior”. “I have always fought the national gathering. And even there, I have led a campaign against the national rally. My poster and all my leaflets demonstrate it. But we cannot afford everything because we are facing Marine Le Pen, “she said. This position had been denounced by the general delegate of La République en Marche, Stanislas Guerini, who had called “to vote Marine Tondelier”.
For her part, Marine Le Pen, who may not take over the RN at the start of the school year, mainly aims to lead the group of deputies that the RN should have in view of the first results. What would be a first since 1986. After the first round, M le Pen had also congratulated that the RN was “the first party in France” in this ballot, and even aimed ” 100 deputies or more “.

A failure was thus difficult to design for the finalist of the last presidential election, who had won the legislative election in 2017 in the second round, with 58.60 % of the votes. At the time, the voters of her constituency had voted for her as massively as in the second round of the presidential election (58.17 %). This year, during the second round of the presidential election, the far-right candidate increased her advance on Emmanuel Macron by more than five points, to 63.41 % on the constituency.
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. In 2017, finally, 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.
