Emmanuel Macron was elected a second time at the Elysée by breaking an incredible number of records.

Her opponent, Marine Le Pen, therefore came out the loser in this duel but she still won 8% more votes compared to her 2017 score. The National Rally candidate is now focusing on the legislative elections. 

Marine Le Pen once again saw a presidential destiny escape her but still won 8% more votes compared to 2017. The RN candidate came first in 28 departments, compared to only two five years ago. .

If she focuses on the legislative elections, she may well not resume the presidency of her party. 

Not an ounce of division at the RN

Marine Le Pen arrived in the sixteenth arrondissement around 2:30 p.m.

She chaired the executive office and the national office that followed at 4 p.m.

In meeting, the atmosphere was absolutely not defeat and there is not an ounce of division in the RN today, we say to Europe 1.  

The executives debriefed the results.

And according to a participant, the two objectives that the FN had set have been met.

Small one: Marine Le Pen's image has improved considerably.

Eric Zemmour's sentence went wrong

The authorities of the National Rally looked at the results with a magnifying glass.

There are 158 constituencies where they have a majority in the second round and they will present 577 candidates out of the 577 constituencies.

Regarding alliances in the legislative elections, the door is completely closed on the side of Marine Le Pen for the moment to an agreement with the party Reconquête!.

Eric Zemmour's sentence on the eight defeats associated with the name Le Pen in the presidential election went very badly here, even if the former journalist from

Le Figaro

multiplies the calls for a union.

However, there may be individual agreements with Guillaume Peltier or the boss of the Young people with Zemmour, Stanislas Rigault.

As for the future of Marine Le Pen, she will run again in her constituency of Pas-de-Calais but she should not take over the presidency of the party for the moment.
