Sunday May 8, two weeks after her defeat in the second round of the presidential election, Marine Le Pen announced that she would be a candidate for the June 2022 legislative elections.

Absent since her defeat in the second round of the presidential election, Marine Le Pen was in Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), Sunday May 8. She assumes to have rested “before leaving for five very intense weeks of legislative campaign”, she said. Some members of the Reconquest party, led by Éric Zemmour, deplore the media space it has left to the left. For someone close to Marine Le Pen, the new popular, ecological and social union (NUPES) is a “asshole for a left that no longer has a compass”.

For the legislative elections, the National Rally wants to continue to mobilize in order to avoid abstention. An RN candidate for the legislative elections thus believes that voters will be more motivated than in 2017. Marine Le Pen is committed to defending its candidates throughout France until the first round of the legislative elections. In the meantime, Jordan Bardella remains at the head of the party.
