A misleading score.
With 53.96% of the vote in the first round of the legislative elections in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, Marine Le Pen could have claimed to be directly elected MP.
It is not so.
The leader of the National Rally asked this Sunday "another effort" on the part of her voters.
"The voters of the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais placed me at 55% of the vote", welcomed the outgoing MP during a speech in Hénin-Beaumont this Sunday.
Without unduly celebrating his considerable lead.
And for good reason.
If Marine Le Pen obtained the majority, she did not collect enough votes to win the election in a single round.
In the constituency where the candidate who came second in the presidential election campaigned, abstention is high.
“This result was obtained despite considerable abstention,” acknowledged Marine Le Pen after a first round shunned by 52.1 to 53.2% of voters nationwide.
With only 40,114 voters, 57.40% of registered voters abstained in 2022. Thus compared to the number of registered voters, the score of Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter is less than 25%, which is the threshold to pass. to qualify in the first round.
Consult the results of the legislative elections, constituency by constituency.
Follow the results in particular in Paris, Marseille or Lyon.
As well as the results in the districts of Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-d'Oise, Essonne, Seine-et-Marne, Yvelines and in Oise.
So there is still a week left for her competitor, Marine Tondelier, candidate for Europe Ecology-the Greens of the New Popular and Social Union to try to surpass the favorite.
This promises to be tricky: the latter only received 23.43% of the vote.
