National Front (France)

The National Front (Front National, FN) is a far-right political party in France, founded in 1972. It is known for its nationalist, anti-immigration policies and criticism of the European Union. The party gained significant prominence under Marine Le Pen, who has sought to soften its image while maintaining its core principles. The FN advocates for stronger border controls, and measures to protect French culture and identity, often attracting support during economic difficulties. In 2018, the party was rebranded as National Rally (Rassemblement National) to distance itself from its controversial past and broaden its appeal.
