Marine Le Pen's party has reached a preliminary agreement with two European banks for a €10.6 million loan to fund the upcoming presidential campaign. The negotiations are advanced, with a final decision expected soon. The Rassemblement National is struggling financially, facing debts of around €7 million, and French banks have repeatedly refused to provide loans. In the past, the party secured funding from foreign banks, including one in Hungary and another in Russia. The French government is exploring solutions to help candidates obtain campaign financing from local banks to avoid foreign influence.
