Story summary

On October 25, Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Rally party, launched her presidential campaign in Orleans. She positioned herself as the candidate best suited to restore order amid ongoing mass protests over living costs and inequality that have turned violent at times. Opinion polls released on the same day show Le Pen leading with 32% to 33.5%, well ahead of other candidates like hard-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who has 17%. Le Pen promised to restore security as a top priority and vowed to roll back Brussels' influence over France while prioritizing French interests. The city of Orleans was chosen for its historical significance to nationalists, notably the site where Joan of Arc lifted an English siege in 1429, symbolizing national resistance.
