The11th constituency of the Pas-de-Calais is a French legislativeconstituency in thePas-de-Calais département député National Assembly . It has been represented byMarine Le Pen since2017 .
For the2012 French legislative election , the constituency attracted nationwide and international attention, as for the first time two candidates from the2012 French presidential election stood as candidates there:Marine Le Pen of theNational Front andJean-Luc Mélenchon of theLeft Front . Since 2007, Le Pen had been an opposition member of theSocialist Party -held town council inHénin-Beaumont , the largest town in the constituency, while Mélenchon had argued that the Pas-de-Calais is "the birthplace of the workers' movement in France and should not be abandoned to thefar-right ". Opinion polls a month before the election suggested Le Pen would finish first in the first round, during which thepolitical left was divided among several parties, but she would be beaten by Kemel or Mélenchon in the second round,[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] deindustrialisation and unemployment.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10] The Guardian [ 11]
