Le Pen’s Rassemblement National had been widely expected to make a new breakthrough in the Senate.
The Senate is indirectly elected by France’s mayors as well as regional, departmental and municipal councillors.
“This senatorial renewal reinforces the senatorial majority of the right and the center and is a testimony of its territorial roots,” Gerard Larcher, the leader of Les Republicains and president of the senate, said in a statement. Le Pen’s Rassemblement National had been widely expected to make a new breakthrough in the Senate but the score of three wins was above expectations.
The only member of the French government running in the elections, state secretary for Citizenship Sonia Backes, was defeated in the French territory of New Caledonia.
