The year 2018 is marked by another moment of erasing the past strategy. It goes through the change of name of the party. The National Front is no more, the National Rally was born. With this word “gathering” materializes the desire to move from a party of protest to a party of government: “gathering” in order to be able to govern. In the same logic, in 2022, Marine Le Pen stands far from Eric Zemmour and does not give in to his foot calls, proving once again his attachment to this strategy of demonization. A few months later, the election of Jordan Bardella at the head of the RN offers a new face to the party. By his youth and his career, he still gives other pledges to this sequence of demonization. The son of an Italian immigrant family, his roots in the 93 and his university studies at the Sorbonne offer guarantees of normality – his career could resemble that of many young people.
Nevertheless, behind these data, there is also his militancy at the UNI and his traditional, even identity, acquaintances, and his view of a “wild and inhuman France” . Because of course, despite this normalization with a view to the conquest of supreme power, the RN remains attached to the ideological corpus which is its own. Proof of this are the markers such as the strengthening of the pronatalist policy in France ( to "resist" against immigration ), the opposition to the entry of Gisèle Halimi into the Pantheon or the sanctification of the "national priority" in the constitution . The RN does phone number list not get rid of the historical themes that prevailed at the creation of the FN. Parliament: the sanitary cordon has fallen Whatever the ideological corpus to which the RN claims, the hemicycle of the National Assembly offers the party its letters of notabilisation, but above all its setting of institutionalization. From marginal and hated, the party becomes the one that holds two vice-presidencies in the lower house. Vice -presidencies which were mathematically permitted with the support of other political parties – Les Républicains and Renaissance – since Hélène Laporte obtained 284 votes and Sébastien Chenu 290.
Faced with the wave of RN deputies, the sanitary cordon fell. Standardization has set in. Especially since, here again, Marine Le Pen is playing the ability to govern card. She does not want to divide too much to present a constructive opposition, "a responsible opposition". With this in mind, she is vigilant about the attendance rate of her group at the assembly, respect for the function (silence, restraint, clothing) and refuses the systematic blocking of laws proposed by the opposition. Admittedly, the episode of deputy De Fournas very nearly undermined these efforts at respectability. By pronouncing the sentence "that he (s) return (nt) to Africa" within the hemicycle, this one gave an opportunity to the oppositions to prove that the demonization was a decoy. But the episode was relatively well managed by the media and internally. The sanction has fallen, the elected official has lost his spokesperson. Discretion soon returned.
