Marine Le Pen has returned to the French presidential race. In a recent analysis by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), analysts Célia Belin and Jeremy Cliffe examined Le Pen's political resurgence. After her defeat in the 2022 elections, Le Pen restructured her party and developed a discourse centered on immigration, security, and national sovereignty. Recent polls show Le Pen's support approaching 30%, positioning her as President Emmanuel Macron's strongest challenger.
