    Just wanted to add that it feels like the French change their party names too often. I forgot that the FN changed names, just like Macron’s Renaissance.

      FN changed name to distance themselves from the old guard when the daughter took over.

        I don’t think so. Marine was at the head of FN for a while before the name changed. At least 2 elections iirc. But yes, to distance themselves from previous racism and antisemitism I think. Funny though, they still hate immigrants
