French Far-Right Leader Marine Le Pen Unveils Immigration Referendum Plan

Le Pen Aims to Boost Support Beyond Traditional Immigration Corner

Rassemblement National Leader Eyes Presidential Victory in 2022

PARIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen announced on Monday that if elected president in the upcoming 2022 election, she will implement an immigration referendum as part of her platform.

Le Pen, the leader of the National Rally party, has been attempting to expand her political appeal beyond her traditional focus on immigration issues. According to sociologist Vincent Tiberj, she has effectively attracted new supporters by diversifying her messaging.

Six months before the presidential election, Le Pen outlined her plans for a referendum aimed at combating immigration. The referendum's precise details and implications are yet to be fully outlined.

Meanwhile, Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National party has launched its campaign for the European elections, with a focus on tightening immigration policies.
