It is the turn of the National Rally to unveil its list of candidates for the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.
The flame party announced on Wednesday that it had invested 569 candidates, including several personalities from the movement, including Marine Le Pen and her sister Marie-Caroline, but not its interim president Jordan Bardella.
Marine Le Pen, presidential finalist and MP for Pas-de-Calais, is standing in the 11th constituency of the department.
His older sister Marie-Caroline Le Pen, who had returned to politics in the 2021 regional elections in Île-de-France, where she was elected regional councilor, is running in the 6th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine.
She will notably have as an adversary the ex-LR Constance Le Grip, who joined the presidential coalition.
Marine Le Pen's press officer, Caroline Parmentier, regional councilor in Île-de-France, presents herself in the 9th district of Pas-de-Calais in Béthune.

The deputies Bruno Bilde (12th from Pas-de-Calais) and Sébastien Chenu (19th from the North), two close to Marine Le Pen, are candidates for their own succession.
As well as Nicolas Meizonnet (2nd from Gard), who took over from Gilbert Collard when the latter was elected MEP in 2019.
Gilbert Collard has since joined Éric Zemmour.
Jordan Bardella mentioned a dozen parachute drops, including those, in Moselle, of spokesman Laurent Jacobelli and RN communications director Alexandre Loubet.
But the RN did not invest the former identity manager Philippe Vardon, because of his "doubts" about the candidacy of Marine Le Pen, in the 3rd district of the Alpes-Maritimes, where he supports Benoît Kandel, former deputy mayor by Nice Christian Estrosi.
The far-right party also supports in the Gard Pierre Meurin, a former supporter of Éric Zemmour, or the former LR Philippe Morenvillier in Meurthe-et-Moselle.
Opposition to Reconquest!
The deputy mayor of Perpignan Louis Aliot, Catherine Pujol (2nd in the Pyrénées-Orientales), was not invested in the name of "renewal", the Lepenist party preferring Anaïs Sabatini to her.
Similarly, Thierry Frappé was preferred to Myriane Houplain, who had replaced Ludovic Pajot when he was elected mayor of Bruay-la-Buissière (Pas-de-Calais).
Myriane Houplain now wants to "prevent the RN from winning".
The RN did not present a candidate against Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, former ally of Marine Le Pen in 2017, in Essonne, nor against Emmanuelle Ménard, outgoing deputy RN, in Hérault.
On the other hand, the youth manager at Éric Zemmour, Stanislas Rigault, approached by Jordan Bardella, will have an RN candidate facing him, Bénédicte Auzanot.
The party is also presenting a candidate, Roger Chudeau, ex-LR pro-Fillon, in the constituency of Guillaume Peltier, vice-president of Reconquest!
(2nd in Loir-et-Cher).
He also invested a candidate, Philippe Lottiaux, in the 4th district of Var (Saint-Tropez), closely watched by Éric Zemmour, who hesitates to start.
