Before posing in the center of the group photo of the newly elected RNs at the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen turns to her 88 new colleagues: “Just, I would like to look”.
As if the leader of the National Rally did not yet believe in the historic breakthrough of her party in the legislative elections, two days earlier.
The defeated presidential candidate takes the time to kiss each of these new deputies.
Among them, Christine Loir, elected in the Eure.
If we had told her that she would one day enter the hemicycle of the Palais-Bourbon?
“I would not have believed it,” assures the new MP.
Before donning the tricolor scarf, she was a life assistant: “I have everything to learn”.
“[I am] moved, anxious, with a big load on my shoulders,” she confides.

Katiana Levavasseur was also elected in Eure.
Until recently, she was still a maintenance worker.
“It's life changing.
It proves that when we want we can.
Leaving as a maintenance worker and ending up as an RN deputy is a long way to go”.
She too must take the time to discover her new profession: “In any case, we have training, we are followed.
We are not released like that in nature.
Before leaving the Palais-Bourbon, Marine Le Pen takes the time to greet her colleagues one last time, without losing her smile.
"It's the beginning of a new era."
A new era which has seen the number of seats occupied by the far-right party multiplied by 11, in just 5 years.
