The party advocates for stricter immigration controls, national sovereignty, and economic protectionism. Led by Marine Le Pen, the National Rally has gained significant support in recent years, particularly in regional and European elections. The party aims to address concerns about globalization and the European Union's influence on French policies, appealing to voters who prioritize national identity and security.
