Jérôme Sessini was in Henin-Beaumont for Marine Le Pen's speech following the announcement of results from the second run of French regional elections where the Front National failed to win a majority in any region. After ranking number one on the first round of elections, Marine Le Pen was then beaten by Les Republicains' candidate Xavier Bertrand, who was leading the anti-Front National coalition of the region Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie.
