(Bloomberg) Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said she’s going to win next year’s presidential elections in France and that she’s going to spend the months leading up to the ballot showing voters why she deserves to be in the Elysee palace.
“I think I will win,” the National Rally chief said in an interview on French BFM television late on Thursday, adding that she knows there are people who worry about the idea of her taking the country’s top job. “I have a year in front of me to explain to them what I want to do.”
A recent poll for Harris International showed that President Emmanuel Macron is still more likely to edge out Le Pen in the runoff of the April 2022 ballot, although his advantage is much narrower than when they faced off in 2017.
