Abstract

The article focuses on French far-right leader Marine Le Pen's criticism of President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of "locking down" institutions to influence the post-2027 presidential transition. Le Pen highlights recent resignations and potential early departures of key financial figures, including the Bank of France governor and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, as part of this strategy. She also claims Macron aims to advance France's negotiation of the European Union's multiyear financial pact to bind future obligations. Additionally, Le Pen's eligibility to run in the 2027 election is pending a court ruling, with her party's president, Jordan Bardella, positioned as a potential successor and currently enjoying significant public approval.
