Marine Le Pen on Sunday launched her campaign for the legislative elections in Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), where she is a candidate for re-election, targeting Jean-Luc Mélenchon, described as "king's fool", for having according to her favored the re-election of Emmanuel Macron.

“The fable of Jean-Luc Mélenchon opposing Emmanuel Macron, we may be stopping now… It lasted 15 days, it made everyone laugh,” she said on her arrival in this RN municipality, which is part of the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, where she has been elected to parliament since 2017.

“He plays the fools of the king, he overplays the insolence with regard to the president”, launched the ex-candidate RN for the presidential election.

But "the reality is that Jean-Luc Mélenchon had Emmanuel Macron elected" by asking his voters not to vote for her, she said.

“It absolutely discredits him to be able to put himself in the position of the opponent.

The RN intends to fight against the social policy of Emmanuel Macron

Marine Le Pen also made fun of the leader of La France Insoumise, who has been trying in recent weeks to lead the rally on the left.

“To be able to win a legislative, he would have to agree to run, already.

It would be a good start”, quipped Marine Le Pen, Jean-Luc Mélenchon having announced that he himself would probably not be a candidate.

The unfortunate candidate for the presidential election took a walk in the city market on Sunday and multiplied the selfies.

She was then to deliver a speech.

She assured that "the fight" was "not over, because the policy that Emmanuel Macron intends to implement is just as harmful today as it was 15 days ago".

She said she hoped that the RN would enter "in force in the National Assembly to lead the fight against the social policy that Emmanuel Macron wants to implement".

"We will also fight against laxity, the one we have seen at work for 5 years in terms of insecurity, immigration, which is one of the points where the alliance between Mélenchon and Macron is perhaps the most dangerous" , she said.

Marine Le Pen will notably face in her constituency Marine Tondelier (EELV), opposition municipal councilor in Hénin-Beaumont.

Invested by the "New popular ecological and social union" (Nupes), Marine Tondelier was spokesperson for the environmental candidate Yannick Jadot during the presidential campaign.
