Front National (France)

The Front National (now known as National Rally) is a French political party founded in 1972, known for its nationalist, anti-immigration, and Eurosceptic positions. It emphasizes preserving French culture, strict immigration controls, and reducing international influence, particularly from the European Union. The party appeals to voters concerned about national sovereignty, security, and economic nationalism. Over the years, it has shifted toward a more moderate tone under new leadership but remains a controversial presence in French politics, often criticized for its stance on immigration and its associations with far-right movements.
