In a wide-ranging interview, French far-right leader Marine Le Pen presented her full plan ahead of the 2027 French presidential elections. Le Pen placed at the center of her campaign a referendum to fight Islamism, which would include steps such as closing radical mosques, deporting inciting imams, banning the Muslim Brotherhood's activities, and a gradual ban on the veil in universities, school trips, sports federations, and public buildings. She argued that a referendum would allow bypassing existing legal restrictions. On immigration, Le Pen presented a policy of 'national preference' for French citizens, referencing the figure of one and a half million illegal residents. On Ukraine, Le Pen sharply criticized European economic aid, stating that France cannot continue to fund foreign wars while cutting pensions. She called for halting economic aid and holding an immediate international peace conference, while supporting continued training of Ukrainian soldiers and supplying military equipment for self-defense.
