Accusations of Antisemitism Continue to Haunt Far-Right Party

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Rally party, has filed a libel complaint against her former adviser over accusations of antisemitism.

Le Pen's National Rally Distancing Itself from Antisemitic Rhetoric

For years, Le Pen has worked to push her party into the mainstream and distance it from the shadow of her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was convicted for inciting racial hatred.

However, the recent libel complaint suggests that the party is still grappling with accusations of antisemitism.

Le Pen's Political Capital Rising Despite Accusations

Despite the accusations and a recent loss to Emmanuel Macron in the French presidential election, Le Pen and her party remain a significant force in French politics.

Some analysts argue that the accusations of antisemitism may even be benefitting Le Pen, as they portray her as a victim of political persecution.
