Marine Le Pen: How the National Rally leader redefined the party ahead of the French election

The Telegraph  

He said perhaps the main reasons the RN had become more palatable was the state of the other parties, which were either in ruins or had radicalised, making the Le Pen camp appear more mainstream. “I notice something that in different forms is also happening in Italy: the constant attempt to demonise and corner the people who don’t vote for the Left,” said the most Right-wing Italian leader since the Second World War. But above all, said Mr Camus, Ms Le Pen’s ranks had swollen due to the mass rejection of the fiery Jean-Luc Mélenchon, an admirer of Hugo Chavez and Mao Zedong, whose Unbowed France, LFI, is part of the New Popular Front, which came second on Sunday. “No doubt on Sunday, moderate voters, even social democrat voters, will find it very difficult to put a Popular Front ballot paper in the box due to his outbursts.” This explains why Mr Bardella is so keen to debate with Mr Mélenchon rather than a more moderate member of the Left-wing alliance. Why are they in my social housing and whites sleep on the sidewalk?” Minutes earlier, Ms Le Pen had taken to the stage to call on the French to vote National Rally to “finally get back unity and fraternity”.
