What is the definition of ‘far right” in France?
The FN has always been against liberal immigration into France from Muslim countries.
The FN came out of a movement called the Poujadists who elected several dozen legislators to the National Assembly in the 1950’s
Among them was Jean Marie Le Pen.
The Poujadists were a movement opposing government bureaucracy regulating and the taxing small business owners in France.
They opposed the influx of North Africans from the former French colonies of Africa in the 1970’s and 1980’s including many who are black.
Their former leader Jean Marie Le Pen has made disparaging remarks about Jews in the past.
The ‘racist’ label has been attached onto them over those matters.
The latest story about the FN is that its opposed to the general influx of immigrants mostly Muslim into the country.
The daughter of Jean Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen, kicked him out of the party and she now runs the FN.
Marine is much more popular as is his her niece and granddaughter of J. M. Le Pen, Marion Marechal Le Pen.
At the age of 25, she identifies as a Catholic, and is drawing young voters to the FN.
Marion Marechal Le Pen speaks to crowds saying ‘we are not a Muslim nation’.
To the European press, Bill Clinton would have been considered "far right". If you are not socialist, then you are "extreme right".
