Monday she hosted two meetings of her party, an executive office (management) and a national office (extended management) to prepare the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.

Next Sunday, May 1, she plans to lay a wreath like every year in honor of Joan of Arc, in Paris.

The RN, which convenes a nomination committee on Tuesday, should have chosen by the end of the week as many candidates as constituencies, i.e. 577.

No alliance with other parties is envisaged, except in very specific cases of potential candidates from the camp of his rival Éric Zemmour, such as the youth leader Stanislas Rigault.

"Eric Zemmour, he would have to accept that Marine Le Pen is the leader of the opposition", estimated Jean-Philippe Tanguy, ex-deputy director of the campaign in front of some journalists gathered in front of the HQ of the RN.

The RN, which currently has only 7 deputies including a related (Emmanuelle Ménard), would like to form a group, which is possible from 15 elected.

Mr. Tanguy calculated that Marine Le Pen had come out on top in the second round in 159 constituencies (142 without the Overseas Territories).

Mr. Tanguy should himself present himself in the 4th constituency of the Somme.

The 6 outgoing RN deputies including Marine Le Pen in Pas-de-Calais should also stand again.

Laurent Jacobelli, spokesperson, should run for a constituency in the Grand Est.

Jordan Bardella, who could remain acting president of the RN for a year, that is until next September, is thinking of running in the constituency of Saint-Tropez (Var).

"Do not leave full powers to Emmanuel Macron" who is an "authoritarian leader", launched Monday, as a watchword, Mr. Bardella about the legislative elections.
