Le Pen Launches Presidential Run in France

Conservative leader Marine Le Pen, the frontrunner in next year's French presidential election, formally launched her campaign on Sunday with a promise to restore order and national confidence.

As France faces one of its most turbulent periods in years, Le Pen cast herself as the best placed to navigate what she described as mounting economic, social, and security crises.

Addressing a crowd of cheering supporters, she promised "zero tolerance" policing and said restoring security was the state's first duty.
