RN (Rassemblement National)

The Rassemblement National (RN) is a far-right political party in France, founded in 2018, led by Marine Le Pen. It emphasizes national sovereignty, restricting immigration, and prioritizing traditional French culture. The party advocates for policies like stronger border controls, reductions in public spending on social programs, and skepticism of the European Union’s influence. RN appeals to voters concerned about national identity, security, and economic protectionism. While often controversial, it has gained significant support by emphasizing issues many voters see as central to France’s future direction, positioning itself as a nationalist alternative to mainstream parties.
