The hardest part begins, or almost. Although far behind together! (246 seats) and La Nuts (142), the RN deputy from Pas-de-Calais, Marine Le Pen, was unprecedented at the end of the second round of the legislative elections and is preparing to preside over a plethoric group of 89 elected to the assembly. Urns was born the hope of a new impetus in the nationalist camp, but also uncertainties in full turning in the evolution of the far -right party.

His leader had more than ever married the monarchist spirit of the V e Republic for 2022. To the point that she said she was first convinced that the “majority fact” would offer to Emmanuel Macron its absolute majority. From now on, the deputy for Pas-de-Calais will have to develop a new parliamentary culture at the RN, but without media blows like “rebellious”, which she mocks as “the culture of the pack of noodles”, in reference to the ‘Symbolic action of LFI deputies, in July 2017, against the drop in APLs

Marine Le Pen assured Thursday to the world wanting to be illustrated by a substantive work, until voting the measures she considers to go in the right direction. “We will embody a firm opposition, that is to say without collusion, but a responsible opposition, that is to say respectful of the institutions, and always constructive,” she projected Sunday evening.

On Sunday, she declared that she wanted to “associate all the elected officials and political movements who wish with us to participate in the recovery of the country”. On Monday, she quoted Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Emmanuelle Ménard, invited to join her. But his own delegation will have to make various nationalist sensitivities coexist, of the liberal-conservative Catholic Hervé de Lépinau, fond of the masses in Latin, in the south, to the most social Bruno Bilde, distrusting towards the “Cathos Tradis”, in the North.
