Presidential Election 2027: in Orléans, Marine Le Pen launches her campaign between radicalism and "optimism", in a city under siege

The campaign launch meeting of Marine Le Pen in Orléans was heavily secured, resembling a besieged fortress. Thousands of police were deployed, municipal buses were used to transport supporters, and leftist movements were monitored and restricted. Philippe Olivier, a close advisor to Le Pen, expressed satisfaction with the security measures, indicating that they effectively reduced chaos. The local prefect, Hugues Moutouh, received praise for his handling of the situation, with speculation about his future in high positions if Le Pen wins in 2027. Le Pen's message focused on instilling a sense of order and optimism in a country facing various threats.
