“And that we have an electoral system that is unfair and inadequate to the reality of the country,” said Le Pen, who lost in the second round of the presidential elections to Emmanuel Macron two months ago.

In addition to the historic result of the REN, Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble (Together) alliance would have lost its absolute majority, according to vote projections.

“This has been the best result of our political family (…). We will make Emmanuel Macron a minority president”, added the leader of the National Association.

Le Pen repeated that her fight will be both against “the upper classes” who support Macron and against those who “try to undermine France from below in an anti-republican manner”, referring to the left-wing coalition Nupes, the main opposition force led by Jean- Luc Melenchon.

The leader recalled that her priority will be the fight against immigration, security, unemployment and “forgotten France”.
