Presidential Election 2027: For Marine Le Pen, France is “the least racist country in the world”

She says it, straight in the eye, without blinking. Two weeks after the racist attack in Trappes and La Verrière, Marine Le Pen ensures that “there is no discrimination in France” and considers that France is “the least racist country in the world”.

In this interview for the program “60 Minutes” on the American channel CBS, the far-right presidential candidate explains that immigration has destabilized French society and that the unemployment rate of foreigners is twice as high as that of the French.

While the journalist points out that this level of unemployment is perhaps also linked to discrimination, the National Rally candidate replies: “No, that does not exist […] No, there is no discrimination in France”.

Origin, the main factor of discrimination

In the latest survey on the subject by the Defender of Rights, an independent authority responsible for combating discrimination, carried out in 2024 and published in December 2025, it is nevertheless written that “perceived origin constitutes the main factor of exposure to discrimination in the job search”. Testing campaigns also regularly highlight discrimination in the search for housing.

Furthermore, Marine Le Pen also affirms that “France is the least racist country in the world”, according to the translation made by CBS, without citing a comparative study.
