Reference date: 25 October 2026 — campaign launch
Marine Le Pen launched her presidential campaign in Orléans on 25 October, Reuters reported. The far-right National Rally leader promised tougher measures on crime and immigration and a reduction in EU influence.
The launch comes amid widespread protests over living costs and public services. These are campaign commitments ahead of the presidential election, rather than policies enacted by the French government.
