Le Pen Pledges to 'Take Power in Europe' as Far-Right Leaders Rally in France
- Far-Right European leaders, including Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban, held a rally on Monday in Mormant-sur-Vernisson, France, to celebrate electoral gains and attack the EU.
- The event followed the National Rally's strong 2024 European election results and Le Pen's late March conviction, which disqualifies her from the 2027 presidential race, with appeals pending for 2026.
- At the rally, leaders criticized EU immigration policies as undermining national sovereignty and described the EU as a centralized empire threatening free elections and Europe’s future.
- Le Pen emphasized that she does not seek to exit the continent, but criticized the current European Union model as unrepresentative, stating that true Europe is defined by its people rather than the EU institutions. Meanwhile, Orban encouraged his followers to persist in their efforts to gain political influence across the continent.
- The rally showed far-right confidence ahead of France's next presidential elections amid Emmanuel Macron's exit, while counter-protests opposed the far right's rising influence across Europe.
