Marine Le Pen has launched her campaign for France’s 2027 presidential election at a rally in Hénin-Beaumont.
Le Pen appeared wearing an electronic tag following a recent conviction. The available material does not specify the charges, sentence or conditions attached to the tag.
France 24 reports that Le Pen remains the polling frontrunner, despite her weakened legal position. No polling figures, methodology or fieldwork dates were provided.
The broadcaster attributes her continued support to her long-standing national profile and the appeal of her “national preference” agenda.
The French left is described as struggling to unite behind a convincing candidate, leaving Le Pen positioned as a central figure in the early contest.
