Marine Le Pen (center) said she is confident of winning the presidential election next year.
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said in a TV interview last Thursday (11) that she will win the presidential election next year.
“I think I will win,” Marine Le Pen said in an interview with French television station BFM. She said she understood that some people were concerned about the country being governed by her and said she had a year to explain her policy direction to them.
A recent poll showed that incumbent centrist President Macron could still beat Marine Le Pen in next April’s election, although the gap narrowed compared to the last election in 2017. The survey also showed that half of the voters who supported the other party would abstain if the two of them were to face each other in the 2nd round of voting. Just before the televised interview, a new survey showed that half of French people now think Le Pen has a chance to win.
Le Pen is once again making a comeback in the election, using the unfairness of the French economy, the dominance of Paris over the rest of the country, and the anger of protesters in the 2018 Yellow Vest movement to bash the government. She simultaneously shifted her anti-EU rhetoric to a lower profile and rooted out racists from within her party. She strongly criticized the Macron government’s response to the new crown (CCP virus) outbreak and restrictions on Epidemic prevention, which severely harmed people’s livelihoods.
