• Marine le Pen was largely re-elected MP for the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais.

  • In this same department, the RN obtains 5 constituencies out of 12.

  • At the national level, with between 80 and 95 seats, the RN will constitute the largest parliamentary group in its history.

The RN returns in force to the Assembly.

It was no longer at the Hénin-Beaumont sewing workshop, but in its bowling alley, that the National Rally organized its election evening around its champion, Marine le Pen.

Passed a hair of a re-election in the 1st round, failing to have reached 25% of the registered, this second everything will have been only a formality for the outgoing RN deputy, who therefore retains her seat in the 11th constituency of Pas -de-Calais.

But the real satisfaction of the president of the RN is to be able to constitute a “powerful group of parliamentarians” in the National Assembly.

Her re-election as MP for the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, with around 65% of the vote, is almost the anecdote of the evening for Marine le Pen.

Even if it is almost 10 points more than in the 1st round, even if it brings together nearly 25% of registered voters this time, even if abstention remains very high.

In this department, the RN candidates have also done well by winning 6 of the 12 constituencies, three more than in 2017, and without any outgoing losing their seat.

“Make Emmanuel Macron a minority president”

If the local anchoring of the RN in the Pas-de-Calais is only confirmed, Marine le Pen sees reason to be pleased with the score of her party at the national level.

At the time of writing these lines, his party is the 3rd in France with more than 3.3 million voters.

Admittedly, it is all the same about ten million less than during the 2nd round of the presidential election, except that this time, it will not be useless.

“One of our objectives, to make Emmanuel Macron a minority president, has been achieved,” insisted Marine le Pen during her speech at Hénin-Beaumont.

Faced with the "deconstructors from above and below", understood Together!

and the Nupes, the boss of the RN promises to offer "a firm, responsible, constructive and respectful opposition to the institutions".

The RN score therefore makes it the 3rd party in the country, behind Together!

and Nupes.

And that changes everything.

With between 80 and 95 seats, the party founded by Jean-Marie le Pen will be able to form a group in the National Assembly, the second in its history since 1986. “The people have decided to send a very powerful RN parliamentary group to the national assembly which thus becomes a little more national”, welcomed Marine le Pen.

“A tsunami” declared Jordan Bardella, the party president, on Sunday evening.

"A certainty of seeing your ideas on immigration, security, unemployment, defended in parliament," added Marine le Pen.

Obtaining a group in Parliament also has other, more material advantages.

In addition to the parliamentary niches to present texts there, in addition to positions in the commissions, it is also a story of big money.

For each elected deputy, the State pays the party 37,000 euros per year.

To this must be added 1.60 euro per year and per vote obtained.

A financial boon for the RN, indebted to the tune of 24 million euros.
