Dude, their party has literally been founded by SS officers.

That was the FN in 1972, not the RN in 2026. Your comment is like saying that the US Democratic party is pro-slavery, it is nonsensical.

That is a weak evasion.

And the modern descendant of the SFIO party which is the Socialist Party were literal Nazi collaborators under Pétain, one can hold nuance and judge the party by its current constitution both in terms of people and policies. Also small detail, the original founder (Le Pen) of the FN/RN turned against his daughter in his latter years because she betrayed the line of Le Pen father.

The true hardcore far right is incarnated in Reconquete and the Zemmour/Knafo/Marechal axis.
