On October 25, 2026, Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally party in France, launched her campaign for the 2027 presidential election. She addressed 8,500 supporters in Orleans, a city with historical significance to French nationalism. Le Pen promised to restore order and national confidence amid widespread protests over living costs and inequality that have turned violent. Polls show Le Pen leading at 32% to 33.5%, well ahead of her nearest rival Jean-Luc Mélenchon on 17%. Her campaign emphasizes reducing the influence of Brussels, restoring national control over borders and laws, and prioritizing French interests, including avoiding foreign wars.
