The French far-right party Rassemblement National (RN) is facing multiple controversies involving its members and financing. Deputies close to party leader Marine Le Pen have been implicated in sharing racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and Pétainist remarks on Facebook, notably Caroline Parmentier and Laure Lavalette. Parmentier has denied the allegations, calling them a "cabale," while the party has largely rallied behind her despite evidence presented by media outlets such as Mediapart and Les Jours. Additionally, RN is under judicial scrutiny for alleged illegal campaign financing. A preliminary investigation in Marseille is examining loans granted to RN candidates during the 2020 municipal and 2021 regional elections. Pierre-Édouard Stérin, a billionaire associated with far-right and Catholic circles, was recently heard by authorities in connection with this probe. The investigation focuses on the role of private loans in the party's campaign funding. These developments come amid broader political analysis highlighting the impact of populist influences from figures like Jean-Marie Le Pen, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Giorgia Meloni on the French political landscape.
