18:35⇢Le Pen's Rally Flops As Supporters Fail To Show Up
⌨The newspapers report on Marine Le Pen's rally following her court conviction, which attracted fewer supporters than expected (Le Monde, Libération, L'Express, L'Obs). Despite low attendance, Le Pen denounced her conviction as a "political decision" while promising to "not give up" (BFMTV, Libération, L'Obs). Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal positioned himself as a barrier against the National Rally, with his slogan "if you steal, you pay" (Le Point). In foreign affairs, President Macron called for "strong actions" if Russia continues to "refuse peace" in Ukraine (France TV Info, Le Parisien), while business news covers Patrick Drahi potentially selling telecommunications company SFR (Le Figaro).
