8:03 a.m .: Marine Le Pen, more polite in form but also radical in substance, according to a study

Marine Le Pen has polished her speech but her program remains just as radical, says a study by the Jean-Jaurès Foundation published on Monday.

The far-right presidential candidate has striven, since her arrival in 2011 at the head of the National Front (now National Rally), “to adopt a much smoother communication” but her positioning is “just as radical” , particularly on cultural and migratory issues, writes this center of reflection classified on the left. “If de-demonization is not programmatic, it is clearly discursive,” says this study.

In form, this “de-demonization” was favored by the “harder rhetoric” of his rival, Eric Zemmour, and a “stricter line” of the so-called moderate right of LR, as well as by the presidential party LREM, in a context of “transformation of the media landscape” favoring a “normalization of radical right ideas”.
