Well, Le Pen is to the right of Macron; but she is not far-right. If anything, she’s more of a populist.

“in an absolutely anti-democratic way”
She’s certainly right about this, as bastardized as the word “democracy” is.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
“Far-right”
Nope. No bias there.

It could also be seen as a boon to the EU.

I see the AP has moved from calling anyone to the right of Marx “extreme right” from “far right” - the bias of this article is rancidly bad.

The EU should be seen as a threat to France and the rest of Europe.

It's funny how often you see AP refer to “far right” or “extreme right wing” when you *never* see them refer to left wingers as “extreme” or “far”.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I wish.
The third place player (a communist) told his followers not to vote Le Pen.

Yes, the leftist/globalist/marxist press immediately dismisses any real conservative as “far-right” and repeats the label over and over.
Just shame the candidate right away and prevent any reasonable discussion of the issues. I hope she clobbers him in the election. France needs a real leader right now.

The EU and NATO need to go the way of the League of Nations.

LePen is only a threat to a Federalized EU. I expect her to assert national sovereignty while also asserting the benefits of the EU to facilitate European economic growth.

The only way I think Le Pen could win would be if one or more EU nations subtly said, “If she loses, we are leaving the EU.”
Specifically Hungary and/or Poland. This would be based on the idea that the EU powers-that-be are so greedy for power and a superstate, that they would change the rules of the game so that Macron lost.
To a centrist or conservative, of course this sounds ludicrous, but the EU parliament and bureaucracy is flush with Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff types, who would sacrifice their children to Moloch in the hope of more wealth and power.
