Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French far-right National Rally (RN) party, remains optimistic about winning an absolute majority in the upcoming legislative elections. Despite facing opposition from centrist forces led by President Emmanuel Macron and the left-wing coalition, Le Pen believes in the potential of her party to secure a significant number of seats in the National Assembly.
While the RN led in the first round of voting, recent polls suggest they may fall short of the majority. Le Pen urges supporters to turn out and vote for a change in politics. Winning an absolute majority would allow the RN to form a government, potentially with Le Pen’s protege as prime minister.
The strategic withdrawal of candidates by Macron’s centrists and the NFP coalition aims to prevent the RN from gaining power. Speculation arises about a possible coalition emerging after the election to thwart the RN’s influence.
Despite challenges within her own party, Le Pen remains focused on her goal of winning the presidential election in 2027. The upcoming legislative elections will determine the balance of power in the French political landscape.
