Marine Le Pen has launched her 2027 French presidential campaign with a scathing assessment of Emmanuel Macron’s decade in power, describing France’s situation in terms of “ruin, decline, erasure, riots” and “chaos.” Speaking at the National Rally congress in Orleans, Le Pen promised a “French Renaissance” and named party president Jordan Bardella as her choice for prime minister. She also claimed the battle over Macron’s record had been won and pledged a government of “national unity.” Bardella outlined plans for stricter immigration controls, the deportation of foreign offenders and criminals, tougher security measures and a sweeping overhaul of French schools. The campaign launch sets the stage for a major political contest ahead of France’s 2027 presidential election.
