National Front (Front National in French) is a nationalistic political party in France. Its current leader is Marine Le Pen, daughter of former leader Jean-Marie Le Pen.
The only ideological feature that maintains the party since its foundation is nationalism; their social and economic policies have varied in different periods.
Economically the party was already capitalist and socialist, currently being protectionist.
Socially, the party has been conservative and progressive, currently being moderate. Marine Le Pen, its leader, supports abortion.
Under the management of Marine Le Pen, the party became less radical nationalist, and all its Nazi, fascist and anti-Semite members were expelled.
2017 presidential election=
Le Pen ran in the 2017 presidential election, her second presidential election in a row. United States President Donald Trump called her the strongest of the presidential candidates, particularly on borders and security.[1] By contrast, former U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with pro-EU candidate Emmanuel Macron,[2] who stated that terrorism would be "part of our daily lives for the years to come."[3]
Left-wing opponents of Le Pen stated that even before the election, Le Pen made a large impact, shifting the political debate in France to the right.[4]
Le Pen received second place in the first round of the election on April 23 with over 21% of the vote, meaning she advanced to the second round to face Macron.[5][6]
