Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, prominent figures in France’s far-right National Rally (RN) party, are set to unveil a detailed counter-budget next week. This document will outline their proposed policies for the first five years of a potential five-year presidential term, should Le Pen win the upcoming election for the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French president. The counter-budget is expected to focus on nationalist and populist policies, emphasizing national sovereignty, economic self-sufficiency, and stricter immigration controls. It is designed to provide a comprehensive alternative to the current government’s economic and social policies, reflecting the party’s core values and long-term vision for France. Le Pen, the party’s leader and current presidential candidate, has long advocated for reducing France’s reliance on international institutions and promoting a more protectionist economic stance. Bardella, a rising star within the party and a former mayor, has gained attention for his strong rhetoric on national identity and his support for policies that align with traditionalist values. The proposed budget will be presented as a strategic response to the current political landscape in France, aiming to attract voters who feel disenfranchised by mainstream political parties. It will also serve as a platform for the RN to articulate its vision for the country’s future, should Le Pen secure victory in the upcoming presidential election.
