France's Le Pen Launches 2027 Presidential Campaign
Marine Le Pen kicked off her campaign with a rally despite wearing an electronic tag following her conviction, according to France 24.
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen launched her 2027 presidential campaign with a rally in Hénin-Beaumont on Sunday, despite wearing an electronic tag following her recent conviction, France 24 reported.
France 24's international affairs editor Oliver Farry said Le Pen remains the front-runner in polls despite her weakened legal position, citing her long-standing national profile, the appeal of her "national preference" platform, and the left's difficulty uniting behind a single candidate.
