Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Rally political party in France, has proposed changing the law to allow personal loans to fund her upcoming presidential campaign. French banks have refused to provide financial support for her bid, and Le Pen believes that authorizing personal loans would be the "fastest and simplest" way to address this issue. She argued that personal loans should be permitted for the presidential election, just as they are for other elections, and said this would require modifying existing legislation. Le Pen is currently leading in most opinion polls and is expected to win the presidential election in the second round against any potential opponent. However, she has found no French bank willing to fund her fourth campaign. She confirmed that she had contacted all major banks, and they all turned her down. She has also informed the government about these challenges. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu expressed the hope that all candidates, regardless of their political views, would have access to French financing for their campaigns. In France, the presidential election is the only major election where personal loans are not allowed. For other elections, individuals can donate up to 4,600 euros per person. This rule has created financial challenges for the National Rally, which has relied on personal loans to fund its campaigns in the past. Now, the party must repay accumulated debts, which limits its ability to raise funds for the upcoming election. Le Pen's proposal to change the law has sparked debate about campaign financing and the role of personal loans in political funding. While she argues that the change would help level the playing field, critics question whether it could lead to conflicts of interest or increased financial pressure on candidates. The government has not yet responded to her request, and the issue remains under discussion as the election approaches.
