In an interview published Saturday evening in the JDD, the former president of the National Rally (RN) assures that she would run again to “preside over the country, not to govern it”.
The position is not up to his ambitions. Questioned in the Sunday Journal (JDD) of November 13, Marine Le Pen “don’t want to be prime minister“. The former president of the National Rally (RN) aims without much surprise at the Élysée “and it does not go through the Matignon box”. “If I decide – which is not yet the case – to be a candidate again – to be a candidate again in the presidential election in 2027, it will be to preside over the country. Not to rule it“, she said, recalling “in good time” to present his candidacy “has not rung yet”.
Marine Le Pen also assures that she does not fear the threat of dissolution repeatedly brandished by Emmanuel Macron in the event of a blockage in parliament. “Whetherthe President uses this argument as a threat, it does not scare us at all”, declared the leader of the 89 RN deputies, all ready according to her to return to the campaign. “We could come out of it much more powerful than today, even able to have a prime minister”she said, adding “that there is enough talent in the RN” to run for the post of Matignon.

No alliance with LR
Since leaving the presidency of the RN – won on November 5 by his protege Jordan Bardella – Marine Le Pen has refocused on the parliamentary battle. “I will use this new position to broaden the influence of our ideas”, she explained. It nevertheless rules out any alliance with Les Républicains, even in the event of the election of Éric Ciotti as head of the party. “He has all the faults of LR. Like Aurélien Pradié, moreover”, she let go. Before going more harshly on the right: “For a party to work, it needs ideas and a leader. LR has neither. I remind you of their result in the presidential election: 4.8%”.
