European Central Bank President Lagarde hints at possible participation in the French presidential election.

European Central Bank President Lagarde suggested on the 2nd that she does not rule out the possibility of resigning from her current position and running in the French presidential election next year. In an interview with the French newspaper "Le Figaro" that day, Lagarde was asked if she would consider leaving office early if inflation in the eurozone stabilized. She replied, "It's possible. I think there should be a European voice in the French presidential election." She also made a statement about the relationship between France and the European Union, saying that if a presidential candidate in the election debates suggests "reducing France's involvement in the EU," someone should explain to the voters that this is not a good path to take.
