Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen has officially launched her campaign for the 2027 French presidential election. Addressing supporters in Orleans, she vowed to "restore the rule of law" and make French nationality a privilege. Le Pen, who leads in current polls, is seen as benefiting from recent unrest and cost-of-living protests. She aims to preserve France's cultural identity and regain national strength. Her campaign seeks to present a new era for the country, building on her party's nationalist and anti-immigration platform.
