Announcement and launching

During the 2010 internal campaign for the FN leadership, Marine Le Pen explained why the leadership of the party and the candidature for the presidential election must not be dissociated: thus the next FN leader will run in the 2012 presidential election.[1]

On 10 and 11 September 2011, she made her political comeback with the title "the voice of people, the spirit of France" in the convention center of Acropolis in Nice.[3] Her political comeback, which has been concluded by a closing speech of seventy minutes, prefigured the launching of her presidential campaign.[4]

During a press conference held in Nanterre on 6 October 2011, she officially unveiled the line-up of her presidential campaign team.[5]

Issues and statements

The main topics of her presidential campaign are: economy and social, immigration and security, reindustrialization and 'strong State', fight against corruption and public morality, education and culture, family and health, international politics.[6]

She regularly holds thematic interventions on topical issues such as the fight against social fraud.[7]

Endorsement

A lawyer, Gilbert Collard rallied to her presidential candidacy and accepted the presidency of her support committee.[27][28]

During the convention in Nice on 10 September 2011, she has received the support of Paul-Marie Coûteaux, a former souverainiste MEP.[29] A former general director of the Renseignements Généraux, Yves Bertrand wrote an expression of sympathy in a French magazine.[30] Although Bertrand said that "Marine Le Pen is respectable, republican and friendly", he will not join her support committee.[31] Other personalities could further support her candidacy and join her presidential committee.[31]
