Marine Le Pen has promised to lead France towards a national “rebirth” as she closed the National Rally’s congress in Orléans on Sunday, combining an optimistic vision of the country’s future with hardline pledges on immigration, security and sovereignty.
Addressing supporters on Sunday afternoon, the far-right party’s candidate for the 2027 presidential election invoked Joan of Arc as she urged them to overcome what she described as a mood of resignation and defeatism.
