Marine Le Pen unveils political platform ahead of 2027 French presidential race
During a rally in Orléans, far-right leader Marine Le Pen outlined her campaign platform for the 2027 presidential election under the banner of "Renaissance." Running for the fourth time, Le Pen committed to a tough stance on immigration and security. She announced her plan to appoint Jordan Bardella as Prime Minister in a coalition-style government, aiming to dismiss fears of radical upheaval. Her proposals feature a constitutional amendment to define "national society" and stricter deportation policies, moves that could create friction with the European Union. The event took place amidst heavy security and concurrent protests across France regarding the cost of living.
