Pouvoirs n°156 - Le Front national - avril 2016 - p.5-15
Created in October 1972, the French National Front (NF) found its origins in the “revolutionary nationalism” ideology upheld by the young neo-fascist activists of the movement Ordre nouveau (New Order). At the time, Jean-Marie Le Pen represented a “moderate” tendency among 179 the French far-right groups, but he was the man the activists of Ordre nouveau would chose as president of the National Front. Yet, their journey together was short-lived and, in the end, Le Pen remained the sole leader of the movement. Part of the National Front DNA, the failure of this reunification attempt highlights the contradictions of a party torn between the denunciation of the “system” and the temptation to integrate the political game, between its glorification of violence and its conservatism.
