In France, Marine Le Pen has launched her presidential campaign with a rally in Hénin-Beaumont this Sunday, despite wearing an electronic tag following her recent conviction. On FRANCE 24, international affairs editor Oliver Farry explains why she remains the frontrunner in the polls despite her weakened legal position, pointing to her long-standing national profile, the appeal of her "national preference" agenda, and the left's struggle to unite behind a convincing candidate. #France #LePen #2027Campaign 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Tele
