The French far-right refers to political movements and parties in France that advocate for nationalist, anti-immigration, and often Eurosceptic policies. These groups typically emphasize the importance of French identity and culture, often opposing multiculturalism and immigration from non-European countries. The most prominent far-right party in France is the National Rally, formerly known as the National Front, led by Marine Le Pen. Historically, the French far-right has roots in post-World War II politics, gaining significant traction in the late 20th century. It has been characterized by its populist rhetoric and criticism of the European Union, appealing to voters concerned about economic issues and national sovereignty. The far-right's influence has grown in recent years, reflecting broader trends in European politics.
