Marine Le Pen strong-hand governance pledge at first rally of French presidential campaign
Published
Marine Le Pen, leader of the French far-right National Rally, outlined the main directions of her presidential programme at her first campaign rally held in Orléans. Several thousand activists attended the event, arriving from among the supporters of the political organisation.
In her speech, Le Pen promised strong-handed governance. According to her pledge, her government would take a firmer stance on questions of security, immigration and public order. One of the central messages of her speech was that the French increasingly agree with her party's proposals. In a sentence that also appeared in the headline, she claimed that everyone in France already agrees with them.
The campaign launch is important because, ahead of the next French presidential election, this is the party's first major public test. Political observers say that the messages delivered at such events show what the candidate intends to build on during the campaign. The developments are being followed closely by the French and European press, as France is one of the most important member states of the European Union.
The rally also showed that the party's supporters are already actively preparing for the election. How the details of the programme and the next phase of the campaign will unfold will be revealed by the events of the coming weeks and months.
