Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right, promises a government of "national unity" and aims to enshrine the "national community" in the Constitution if elected. During her campaign rally in Orléans, she announced Jordan Bardella as her government leader. Le Pen emphasized the need for a singular national community and vowed to combat obscurantism, particularly Islamist ideology. She criticized the radical left party, La France Insoumise, for its role in recent violence during protests. Le Pen is running for the presidency for the fourth time, with strong projections for the first round and potential victory in the second.
