Court allows Le Pen to use 'renaissance' in campaign

A Paris court has rejected a request by Gabriel Attal to ban Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) party from using the term 'renaissance' during the presidential campaign. The court ruled in favor of Le Pen, allowing her to continue using the word in her slogan 'Pour la France, la renaissance'. Attal had sought to prevent the RN from using the term, which is also the name of his own political party. The decision was reported on July 30, 2026, amid the ongoing presidential campaign in France.
