European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde tells Euronews she is not a candidate for France’s next presidential election, amid growing speculation in Brussels and Paris about whether she could leave the ECB early to take an active role in the race. In the interview, Lagarde says she will continue working to champion European ideals and make her voice heard during the election period. She also declines to indicate she is considering running for office, and frames her comments as support for broader European engagement rather than a personal bid for political office. Bloomberg reports her position as she rejects the idea that she is pondering a campaign, while saying she intends to ensure her views are part of public debate around the election. The outlets describe uncertainty about her future plans at the ECB and the political implications of any potential change in her role, but both present her statements as a clear denial of candidacy.
