Far-right leader Marine Le Pen gives her first campaign speech in Orléans on Sunday, launching her bid to succeed Emmanuel Macron in elections six months away. She leads the polls as France reels from weeks of unrest, with more than 400,000 people marching against the cost of living on Saturday and over 1,300 arrests. Le Pen promises capped energy bills and lower taxes if elected.
