Far-right leader Marien Le Pen implanted herself in the northern department of Pas-de-Calais in the early 2000s, hoping to win over disenchanted voters growing tired of decades of Socialist local governance. In 2013, Henin-Beaumont's Socialist mayor, Gérard Dalongeville, was sentenced to four years in prison and a 50,000 euro fine for embezzlement of public funds.(AP Photo/Thibault Camus)
