Marine Le Pen: The National Rally, until June 2018 known as the National Front is a far-right political party in France. It has primarily been an anti-immigration party, advocating significant cuts to legal immigration & protection of French identity. Major policies include a harsher stance on illegal immigration. The National Rally has opposed the EU & its predecessor organisations since its foundation in 1972..Jean-Marie Le Pen, the father of Marine Le Pen founded the party & was its leader until his resignation in 2011. Since 1984 the party has been a major force of French nationalism.
Her father, nicknamed the "Devil of the Republic" sparked outrage for hate speech, including Holocaust denial & Islamophobia. Marine Le Pen pursued a policy of "de-demonisation" of the party by softening its image... - Ed.
