Marine Le Pen

Marine Le Pen is a prominent French politician who has served as a Member of the National Assembly for Pas-de-Calais since 2017. She led the National Rally (formerly the National Front) from 2011 to 2021, during which time she pursued a strategy of 'de-demonisation' to soften the party's image. A lawyer by training, she has held various regional and European mandates throughout her career. Her political platform centers on economic nationalism, protectionism, and strict anti-immigration policies. Despite facing legal challenges regarding the misuse of European Parliament funds, she remains a central figure in French politics and a leading voice for the nationalist right.
