National Front

The National Front is a political party in France, known for its nationalist, anti-immigration, and Eurosceptic positions. Founded in 1972, it has gained attention for advocating strong national identity and security measures, often emphasizing a critique of immigration policies and the European Union. The party was led by Jean-Marie Le Pen for many years, and later by his daughter, Marine Le Pen, who has attempted to soften its image. Its rise reflects broader trends of populism and right-wing sentiment in Europe, appealing to voters concerned about cultural and economic changes.
