NATIONAL GATHERING. Marine Le Pen’s party wants to obtain a “powerful group” in the National Assembly during the legislative elections. The RN refuses an alliance with Eric Zemmour but will he be able to achieve his objectives alone?
“Marine Le Pen will obviously lead this legislative campaign”. The leader of the National Rally, however, is discreet at a time when negotiations for the legislative elections are in full swing. It is up to Jordan Bardella, acting president of the political party, to ensure the presence of the RN in the media. The far right has a lot to play during these legislative elections, coming second in the presidential election, it presents itself as the “sole opposition force” to Emmanuel Macron and intends to play this role in the National Assembly. The RN therefore has no other choice but to form at least one group and to have at least fifteen deputies sit in the hemicycle. Ambitious, Jordan Bardella wants to do more and install a “powerful group” among the deputies. Note that he does not speak of a majority, an ideal scenario but difficult to achieve for the political family.
The RN puts the odds on its side to win the elections, at least almost all of them. If the party has been preparing for the elections for several weeks and claims to have already invested several hundred candidates for the 577 seats of deputies, it refuses to create the “national bloc” by joining forces with Eric Zemmour and his party born for the presidential election. , Reconquest!
Marine Le Pen, candidate and campaign leader
After her fall in the presidential election, Marne Le Pen gets back on horseback and sets off for the legislative elections. The MP for Pas-de-Calais will be a candidate for re-election but she did not wish to announce it herself, leaving this task to her right-hand man Jordan Bardella. The interim president of the Rassemblement national killed two birds with one stone on April 28 in Fréjus by launching the legislative campaign with this declaration. Candidate, Marine Le Pen should soon resume her place as leader to lead this campaign head-on. In addition to claiming a seat herself and seducing voters in Pas-de-Calais, the politician will serve as an argument for all RN candidates and she could even appear with some during the campaign.
Alongside Marine Le Pen, 500 other candidates could present themselves in the various constituencies if we are to believe the party’s announcements. And among the candidates, several are part of the “new generation” of the RN, unknown faces and different profiles to erase the image of former RN deputies deemed ineffective. France info cites as an example Jean-Philippe Tanguy, ex-Debout la France and artisans of the presidential campaign, Laure Lavalette, elected representative of the Var and spokesperson for the RN or Laurent Jacobelli, the presidential sponsorship gentleman.
The RN goes it alone for the legislative elections
The National Rally relies exclusively on its candidates and the scores obtained during the presidential election. The far-right party opposes all alliances, at least the only one offered to it: that of Eric Zemmour. The polemicist and boss of Reconquest! called on Marine Le Pen to join him and Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, boss of Debout le France, to form the “national bloc” and capitalize on far-right forces in the legislative elections. The call was launched and renewed but always followed by a categorical no from the RN. “Eric Zemmour did everything to make Marine Le Pen lose and to prevent her from qualifying for the second round, and today he comes to ask Marine Le Pen to help him get elected. “, has also launched Jordan Bardella on May 3 on France 2.
If he refuses an association with Eric Zemmour and his party, formed for many who resigned from the RN, Jordan Bardella does not reject the voters of the polemicist. On the contrary, he calls on them to choose the National Rally in the first round of the legislative elections. “Come with us! Do not waste your vote even though with 7%, you will not pass the second round in any constituency”.
