Le Pen has also identified himself as a socialist.

Let me know if you find a French politician who has any redeeming qualities. I've not been able to find one. The last French leader I had any respect for was Mitterand, who seemed to get along nicely with conservatives in the U.S., Britain and Germany. Characteristically for the French, he called himself a socialist but in practice wasn't much of one. Kinda like Chirac calling himself a rightist.
