French PM frames election as order vs. chaos, aiding Le Pen

French Prime Minister Lecornu has framed the upcoming choice as between 'forces of order' and 'those with a violent project against the Republic,' a rhetorical move that analysts say favors far-right leader Marine Le Pen by polarizing the electorate. The framing follows a weekend of protests, suggesting a shift in government messaging toward security-focused politics. The outcome is uncertain but could reshape the electoral landscape.
