Marine Le Pen launches presidential campaign with vow to restore 'rule of law'

A rebirth for France, that is what Marine Le Pen promised as she unveiled the broad outlines of her presidential platform before thousands of supporters this Sunday in Orleans. La voie, mes amis, que je vous propose de tracer est celle de la renaissance. La renaissance pour la France. Nous ne sommes pas dans le « c'était mieux avant ». Nous disons « c'était bien avant ». Ce sera mieux demain ! The national rally candidate was introduced by party president Jordan Bardella, who is positioning himself to become Marine Le Pen's prime minister in the event of a victory. Je veux le dire solennellement aux Françaises et aux Français. The choice you will make in this presidential election is the most important in the history of the 5th Republic. At the start of her speech, a commotion was observed in one of the stands. Later, the Union of Jewish Students of France stated that they had held up a sign in reference to Mediapart's revelations about antisemitic writings attributed to Jordan Bardella. The rally drew 8,500 supporters according to organizers. I am here because I vote for Marine Le Pen, she is a candidate that I want to be our president for a very long time, because for me the country is going very, very, very badly today and I think that she is the only one who can lift the country. In any case, it is the only party that has not yet tried, so we try. The future belongs to us. Those were the last words of Marine Le Pen's speech at the end of this day of Congress, of the Rassemblement National, launching the presidential campaign of Marine Le Pen. For sure, the 8,500 people said to be gathered here are absolutely convinced. And the master word was renaissance, rebirth, renewal. And the recipes for that, that she described alongside Jordan Bardella, was basically toughening, increasing security, toughening immigration control, being stricter on crime, especially crime committed by foreign people, as they said.
