Jean-Marie Le Pen

France can talk about its past in a different way.

Under Marine Le Pen's father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the party had difficulties, was demonized and was didn't get the airtime that they wanted, or they didn't get the loans, they couldn't finance their campaigning.

I think Marine Le Pen even got a loan from Russia at the time to finance some of their campaigns.

But since her campaign to turn her party to de-demonize, that's what they call it, de-demonize the party, get rid of all the neo-Nazis, Anything that resembles neo-Nazi comparisons, that was successful.

And that was a huge shock in the early 2000s.

That was a wake-up call and it mobilized the voters massively.

The left voters had to vote for conservatives in order to block Jean-Marie Le Pen.

I don't think that this is what we're going to see this time around.

But I suspect that they will want to patch it up in the interest of getting a big number of voters at the ballot box next April.

Yeah, we're seeing those images of Jean-Marie Le Pen's granddaughter, Marion Maréchal.

And, you know, it's the old line that what was called the National Front, what's now called the National Rally, it's a family business.

Yes, absolutely.

You know, as you know, Jean-Marie Le Pen basically handed the party to his daughter, who then... did diabolise, she kind of normalised the party, she detoxified the party and eventually expelled her own father from the party because he was making provocatively anti-Semitic statements and was not going along with the line.

And she has completely run the party since then.

And this is her fourth, I think, presidential campaign.

And no one could have done this without Trump's example.

Well, Marine Le Pen in France You know, her father was Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been very right-wing.

But it's true that Trump has sort of given them cover in a way.

Yeah, they limped along for years, marginal.

for coloring your flag right there we know exactly what you're all about hamilton resumed his activities as a supporter of pressure groups including the western goals institute led by um ex-young monday club chairman andrew vr smith and attracting the support of other parliamentarians such as sir patrick wall bill walker nicholas winterton and the reverend martin smith He was on the Parliamentary Advisory Board.

The Western Goals Institute achieved notoriety by inviting Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the neo-fascist French National Movement, and Alessandra Mussolini, Benito Mussolini's granddaughter, a deputy sitting for the Italian neo-fascist MSI to address fringe meetings at the 1992 Conservative Party Conference.

Have we got anyone from the KKK? Let's get them over as well.

It's a really good thing that politicians these days in America learn from this guy's mistakes and they don't ever show up at white nationalist or fascist organizations
