French far-right leader Marine Le Pen Saturday hosted a two-day party congress seeking to find new impetus for her 2022 challenge to President Emmanuel Macron after disappointing results in regional elections.
Last month’s vote saw Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) fail in its bid to gain control of at least one of the 13 regions of mainland France for the first time, after initial polls had indicated it could pick up several.
While the regional elections are very different to next year’s presidential race, the failure raised questions about the strategy of Le Pen, who in recent years has sought to rebrand her party as a more mainstream right-wing force.
