New trick, new visual.
Marine Le Pen, campaigning for the second round of the presidential election against Emmanuel Macron, released a new very sober poster on Tuesday showing her sitting with her hands resting on a desk like her opponent, where we can read "for all French people" .
The National Rally candidate poses all smiles, leaning against a simple desk, dressed in a dark suit.
She has chosen a white wall for the background, where you can see a few thin mouldings.
No objects or windows are visible behind it.

The far-right contender for the Elysee Palace is "in function, not in fiction, without all the somewhat pipeau symbols around", commented those around him to BFMTV, who unveiled this poster.
It is a "nod to the official photo" of the current President of the Republic.
Marine Le Pen is "ready to take her place and ready in terms of the program," a close friend of the candidate told AFP.
Sobriety
By this slogan, the candidate means "that she puts herself at the service of all French people" in the name of "national union", adds the same source.
“The sobriety of the poster is for a five-year term which will be at the service of the French, not to serve itself”.
The same photo will be printed on the professions of faith that voters will receive at home.
It recalls the official portrait of Emmanuel Macron with his hands resting on his desk, in front of a window overlooking the gardens of the Élysée, framed by the French and European flags.

Presidential: Marine Le Pen "can win on April 24" against Emmanuel Macron
Marine Le Pen wishes for her part, if she is elected, to remove the flag of the European Union from her official photo, as from the pediments of schools.
She explained that she was "not intended to be the governor of a European region".
“Bringing the French together, helping the most vulnerable, assuming who we are.
Goodbye Jupiter, hello Marine”, commented, by publishing this poster, Laurent Jacobelli, spokesperson, on his Twitter account.
“Because our country deserves unity, respect, harmony,” also wrote MP Sébastien Chenu, also spokesperson.
