The leader of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, came first in her constituency of Pas-de-Calais in the first round of the legislative elections.

The unfortunate finalist in the presidential election obtained 53.8% of the votes in the constituency where she was an outgoing deputy. 

Marine Le Pen was again acclaimed by the voters of the 11th district of Pas-de-Calais.

The RN candidate, and outgoing MP, obtained 53.8% of the vote in the first round of the legislative elections this Sunday.

She then asked her voters to "confirm" her score in the second round to be held next Sunday. 

She also took the opportunity to scratch the President of the Republic by speaking of a "five-year tunnel without light" with Emmanuel Macron.

The finalist of the last presidential election wants to be optimistic despite everything and considers "possible to send a very large group" to the Assembly.

To form a parliamentary group, a minimum of 15 deputies is necessary.
