European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde remarked in an interview with Euronews published on Thursday that she will not run in the upcoming election for France's head of state, which will be held on April 18, 2027, APA reports.
"I'm not a candidate for anything, but I'm very keen that Europe is protected, that Europe is the framework within which member states operate, including France," Lagarde said, rejecting speculation. Commenting on the election, she expressed hope that "reason will always prevail and that France will appreciate, whoever is the leader of France that it is one key member of Europe."
"Europe is the only playground with which member states, nations and even France can actually play a significant role," Lagarde stressed.
