The FN/RN’s ‘proletarianisation’, particularly in the economic field has seen the development of an economic policy with many parallels to counter-globalist movements more often associated with left-wing politics. The party proposes a protectionist, nationalist economy designed to protect French industry, farmers, artisans and workers from Chinese and other Developing World products, to avoid a ‘race to the bottom’ in terms of workers’ living standards. According to Marine Le Pen this would require national preference for French products in governmental acquisition, an increase in the minimum wage, and policies designed to protect the character and economy of rural and regional France. These policies are aimed at appealing to native, ‘ethnic’ French, and sympathetic immigrants concerned about impacts of post industrialism, globalisation and neoliberalism, represented as destroying the French nation: economically, culturally and politically. The argument is made that French industries will be usurped by multi-national corporations, which will see all people as fungible commodities and little more.

In terms of voter intention, Shields’ (2013) analysis of IPSOS polling figures show the FN/RN has a strong working class element in its base of support. The analysis indicates 29% support from manual workers (with the FN the most popular choice), 21% amongst other wage earning employees, and 25% from shopkeepers. The figures characterise the National Front under Marine Le Pen being the most popular party with those of little earning power and the lowest educational levels. Whereas ‘far right’ descriptors are most often applied to the party, supporters come from a demographic traditionally linked to social democratic parties, and report no affinity for left or right. The National Rally (formerly National Front) offers a third position found to be viable for those unrepresented by the established centre parties, or left politics like those offered by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

This move to the left, in the sense of a targeted interventionism in the economy, would define the RN as a party that is reasonable in its approach and broad acceptability, within the French context. The platform is presented as deeply pro-French, as the first priority, and relates this popular theme to concerns over mass immigration and Islamism as threatening to France.

🇮🇱 🤝 🇷🇺 Netanyahu aims to boost Israel’s ties with Russia, Ynet reports; PM sent his military secretary to Moscow for meetings with Russian officials.

⬛️ Israel wants to keep Syria "weak", and prefers Russia over Turkey as a dominant power in the region.

🇺🇦 Against the backdrop of the acute crisis between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky , which escalated in an unprecedented manner yesterday (Friday), Ynet has learned that Israel is also trying to examine its relations with Russia. It now turns out that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent his military secretary, Major General Roman Gofman, to a series of security-political meetings in Moscow in recent days - aimed at coordinating and strengthening cooperation between the countries, while maintaining security interests.

🔶️ Israel is in fact clearly choosing a side - preferring the Russians over the Turks, and is in fact trying to push Ankara out of Syria. Another goal of the meeting was to ask Russia to put pressure on Hamas, through the mediators, to advance the deal to release the hostages. One of those hostages still being held captive is Maxim Harkin, who holds Russian citizenship.

🇪🇪 Hitler’s ascension to power was greeted with enthusiasm. The Veterans were practically alone in viewing the ‘National Revolution’ in Germany in a positive manner. Võitlus interpreted it as “definite affirmation that in the near future European peoples will one after another rapidly free themselves from the obsolete system of government which sustains political corruption, disorder, and avarice.” Hitler’s success in Germany was seen as significant for Estonia in the sense that it was “symptomatic for our near future: with the collapse of the power of the political parties, a genuine people’s government will come to power.”
