National Rally

The National Rally (Rassemblement National, RN) is a far-right political party in France, known for its nationalist, anti-immigration, and Eurosceptic positions. Established in 1972 as the National Front (Front National, FN), the party was rebranded in 2018 under the leadership of Marine Le Pen, aiming to distance itself from its controversial past. The National Rally has gained significant electoral support in recent years, becoming a prominent force in French politics, particularly in the context of growing concerns over immigration and national identity. Despite its gains, the party has faced challenges in forming coalitions with other parties, similar to the AfD in Germany, due to its extreme views and historical associations.
