Marine Le Pen Career

Marine Le Pen joined the FN in 1986, at the age of 18. She acquired her first political mandate in 1988 when she was elected a Regional Councillor for Nord-Pas-de-Calais. In the same year, she joined the FN's juridical branch, which she led until 2003.

In 2000, she became president of Generations Le Pen, a loose association close to the party which aimed at "de-demonizing the Front National". She became a member the FN Executive Committee (French: bureau politique) in 2000, and vice-president of the FN in 2003. In 2006, she managed the presidential campaign of her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen. She became one of the two executive vice-presidents of the FN in 2007, with responsibility for training, communication and publicity.

In the 2007 parliamentary election, she contested Pas-de-Calais' 14th constituency but came second behind incumbent Socialist MP Albert Facon.

Early in 2010, Le Pen expressed her intention to run for leader of the FN, saying that she hoped to make the party "a big popular party that addresses itself not only to the electorate on the right but to all the French people".

On 3 September 2010, she launched her leadership campaign at Cuers, Var. During a meeting in Paris on 14 November 2010, she said that her goal was "not only to assemble our political family. It consists of shaping the Front National as the center of grouping of the whole French people", adding that in her view the FN leader should be the party's candidate in the 2012 presidential election. She spent four months campaigning for the FN leadership, holding meetings with FN members in 51 departments. All the other departments were visited by one of her official supporters. During her final meeting of the campaign in Hénin-Beaumont on 19 December 2010, she claimed that the FN would present the real debate of the next presidential campaign. Her candidacy was endorsed by a majority of senior figures in the party, including her father.

On several occasions during her campaign she ruled out any political alliance with the Union for a Popular Movement. She also distanced herself from some of Jean-Marie Le Pen's most controversial statements, such as those relating to war crimes, which was reported in the media as attempts to improve the party's image. While her father had attracted controversy by saying that the mass murder of Jews in gas chambers during the Holocaust was "a detail of the history of World War II", she described genocide as "the height of barbarism".

In December 2010 and early January 2011, FN members voted by post to elect their new president and the members of the central committee. The party held a congress at Tours on 15–16 January. On 16 January 2011, Marine Le Pen was elected as the new president of the FN, with 67.65% of the vote (11,546 votes to 5,522 for Bruno Gollnisch), and Jean-Marie Le Pen became honorary chairman.

Marine Le Pen received substantial media attention during the campaign as a result of comments, made during a speech to party members in Lyon on 10 December 2010, in which she compared the use of public streets and squares in French cities (in particular rue Myrha in the 18th arrondissement of Paris) for Muslim prayers with the Nazi occupation of France. She said:

Her comments were much criticised. Government spokesman François Baroin characterized her remarks as racist and xenophobic. The Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (CRIF), the French Council of Muslim Faith (CFCM) and the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) condemned her statement, and groups including MRAP (Movement Against Racism and for Friendship between Peoples) and the French Human Rights League (LDH) declared their intention to lodge a formal complaint. The imam of the Great Mosque of Paris and former president of the CFCM, Dalil Boubakeur, said that, while her parallel was questionable and to be condemned, she had asked a valid question.

Le Pen's partner Louis Aliot, a member of the FN's Executive Committee, criticized "the attempted manipulation of opinion by communitarian groups and those really responsible for the current situation in France". On 13 December 2010, Le Pen reasserted her statement during a press conference at the FN headquarters in Nanterre. After Jean-François Kahn's comments on BFM TV on 13 December 2010, she accused the Élysée Palace of organising "state manipulation" with the intention of demonizing her in public opinion.

On 15 December 2015, a Lyon court acquitted her of "inciting hatred", ruling that her statement "did not target all of the Muslim community" and was protected "as a part of freedom of expression".

Despite promises of 'good days' outside the EU, France's new 34-year-old Prime Minister May Brexit is killing British industry and fueling the closure of the country's 'last blast furnaces,' according to a standstill, as tractor demonstrations bring Paris to a halt

In his first address before France's National Assembly, the newly elected 34-year-old prime minister made the remarks defending the EU vociferously and slammed the National Rally party, whose leader has characterized the bloc as 'the enemy of the people.' Less energy for France is reduced in Europe's Lesser.' I'll just take one example - Brexit. 'Attal said that supporters of the British economy and the English people are celebrating happy days.' 'Last week, because of Brexit, the last blast furnaces in Great Britain closed and steel is no longer produced in the United Kingdom! On the other hand, French industry is making a comeback, particularly thanks to European investment,' he announced from the podium. However, Attal's speech was marred by the tragedy engulfing his own country, as thousands of dissatisfied farmers took to the streets to protest cheap imports that threaten their livelihoods and excessive bureaucracy.

French farmers target Aldi and Lidl as protests spread across Europe: Tractors block retailer's distribution hubs over 'unfairly' low prices - as producers warn UK supermarkets face supply issues with 'siege' delaying lorries carrying fresh produce

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 30, 2024
French farmers have protested the low prices at Aldi and Lidl, as British growers warn thousands of pounds worth of fresh produce will be dumped as a result of road blockades in Europe. In an attempt to'starve Paris' until the government decides, militant farmers have descended on French motorways in their tractors. Activists have choked off major highways in an escalating conflict with the government over working conditions, salaries, red tape, and environmental policy. They claim that the policies undermine their ability to compete with other nations. The demonstrations came after similar demonstrations in other European countries, including Germany and Poland, ahead of European Parliament elections in June, in which the far right, for whom farmers form a burgeoning constituency, is seen gain.

Le hangover! French farmers awakened in their tractors after feasting on wine and sausages overnight as they plan for their second day of'siege' designed to'starve Paris.'

In an escalating standoff with the government over working conditions, salaries, red tape, and environmental policies, the enraged protesters choked off major highways around the city on Monday and threatened to blockade the French capital. According to the farmers, the policies undermine their ability to compete in other nations. Demonstrators were able to spend the night under motorway bridges, where they set fire to bales of hay and any foreign produce they could get hold of, while others were pictured sleeping in their tractors. The farmers stayed warm around their homemade bonfires and barbecues, and fried pork while sipping on boxed wine and beer as night fell and the cold set in. Today, as dawn broke over France's capital, the farmers roused from their camps scattered around the city, cold and with sore heads, determined to keep going.
