Far-right leader Marine Le Pen pledged to implement drastic fiscal measures to reduce France's public deficit, aiming to restore the national debt to 3% of GDP by 2032. This proposal would allow the government to exceed the European Union's 3% deficit limit, which currently forecasts the debt will reach 5.4% in 2026. The statement was made on October 6, 2026, during the lead-up to the next presidential election.
