PARIS - The niece of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said on Saturday she was convinced her ideas would carry her to power in the future, though she did not declare herself officially as a candidate for the next presidential election in France in 2022.
“Tomorrow, and I am deeply convinced about this, we will be in power,” she said at a conference held in Paris. Le Pen’s defeat to Emmanuel Macron in the 2017 presidential election weakened her and exposed deep rifts within the National Front, which Marechal quit that year and was renamed the National Rally by Marine.“Marine Le Pen’s strategy is this idea of a big transpartisan alliance of what she calls ‘patriots’ from left and right, which is the general populist strategy,” Gilles Ivaldi, a specialist of the far right at Nice University, said.
