"The French people have decided to send a very powerful parliamentary group of deputies from the National Rally to the National Assembly, which thus becomes a little more national, this group will be by far the largest in the history of our political family" , she underlined, herself re-elected in Pas-de-Calais.
"We have achieved the three objectives that we had set ourselves", she welcomed, first of all "to make Emmanuel Macron a minority president, so as to preserve the country from the reign of a single party without control. in the exercise of power, with the risk that we know of him abusing it".
It was also a question for her of "pursuing the political recomposition essential for democratic resourcing" and finally "of forming a decisive opposition group against the deconstructors from above, the macronists, and the deconstructors from below, this extreme anti-republican left".
Marine Le Pen said that the members of her group will form "the vanguard of this political elite who will take responsibility for the country when the Macron adventure is over".
