Hénin-Beaumont, September 14 (askanews) – Marine Le Pen has launched her race for the Elysée Palace, and in her first campaign speech in her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont, she is running again for the French presidential elections in April-May, putting aside for the moment the controversy over her differences, real or perceived, with her heir apparent, Jordan Bardella.
Le Pen risked abandoning the race for the Elysée following her criminal conviction in the trial for misconduct in the management of European Parliament assistants, and will likely have to face part of the election campaign wearing an electronic bracelet. However, she is more determined than ever, building on the broad consensus she and her National Rally party currently enjoy. For her election campaign, she is relaunching the slogan "France for the French."
And here, at point 1 of the program, the "national priority," a "natural and just right," a "privilege," and a "social measure" that will apply to housing, he said, explaining that French citizens should have preferential access to social housing. The housing issue will be "one of the main projects" of his five-year term, with particular attention to the cost-of-living crisis that is affecting many middle-class French families.
