Marine Le Pen returned to the political spotlight on Wednesday at the Livestock Summit in Auvergne, where she received support from local agricultural unions. The event brought together farmers facing a challenging summer and awaiting new government policies. A woman with her young children approached Le Pen, saying, "Here are the future farmers! Save our children, Marine!" The former president of the National Rally, now running for the presidency again, is currently leading in the polls, despite ongoing controversies surrounding her campaign. Le Pen arrived at the Grande Halle d'Auvergne and was greeted with respect by agricultural groups. During a small round table discussion at an exhibition stand, one participant said, "If you are to be in charge in a few months, we hope to continue working with you." Le Pen pledged to introduce policies ending what she calls "normative madness," implementing a "taxation adapted to the highly unpredictable" nature of farming, and facilitating the "transmission of family farms." Sabine Tholoniat, president of the FDSEA, described these remarks as "positive" and "reassuring." However, her visit to the Coordination rurale stand was seen as more cautious. François Walraet, general secretary of the Coordination rurale, noted that "she can no longer promise everything, including to farmers." Le Pen's position on agricultural policy appears to carry contradictions. She pledged to "fight to prevent the PAC from decreasing," referring to the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, after previously threatening to engage in a standoff with Brussels to reduce France’s contribution to the EU budget. When asked about seasonal workers, she assured that it does not "pose any problem for her to have foreigners working" in the absence of available French citizens. This stance contrasts with her broader program, which emphasizes "national priority" and a drastic reduction in immigration. Despite these apparent contradictions, Le Pen's supporters seem unfazed. A visitor in her sixties, with tears in her eyes, told her, "We believe in you!" Meanwhile, 16-year-old Mathis, a student at an agricultural high school in Brittany, waited with his friend Maxence to take a photo with Le Pen and "encourage" her. He praised her for having "very concrete speeches" and gave a positive evaluation to Jordan Bardella, despite Mediapart's claims about Bardella's past antisemitic writings. Le Pen herself does not believe these allegations. Before the press, Le Pen expressed "a thousand percent (her) confidence" in her successor, though she did not elaborate further on a controversy that has affected her campaign for nearly ten days. She was more vocal in criticizing the government for suspending the use of loud grenades in the repression of the student movement, highlighting her break with the current president, Emmanuel Macron, whom she claims "is always on the side that consists of hitting the police." She emphasized that she "considers that the police forces are doing their job." The lives of the animals, she noted, know no truce.
