Marine Le Pen, leader of the French right-wing National Front (FN) , said that her party needs a \u201cdeep\u201d change become a broader \u201cpatriotic\u201d political force after she lost the presidential election to centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron.<\/b>
\n\u00ab\u00a0The National Front… must deeply renew itself in order to rise to the historic opportunity and meet the French people’s expectations, \u00a0\u00bb Le Pen said in a brief address to her supporters shortly after the first projections of the presidential elections\u2019 results were released.
\u00ab\u00a0I will propose to start this deep transformation of our movement in order to make a new political force, \u00a0\u00bb she added, as cited by Reuters.
She went on to say that her result in the presidential elections is historic, despite the defeat, and added that her party would become the main opposition force to Macron. The National Front leader also said that the French political landscape is \u201csplit\u201d between the \u201cpatriots\u201d and the \u201cglobalists\u201d and called on all French \u201cpatriots\u201d to join her new political movement.
At the same time, she also said that she was immediately beginning a new election campaign for the parliamentary elections scheduled for the next few months.
Her words were echoed by other National front politicians. Florian Philippot, the party\u2019s deputy president, called Le Pen\u2019s result in the presidential elections \u201cunprecedented\u201d and praised her election campaign.
He also said that the National Front would oppose Macron. At the same time, he admitted that the party needs to change and he said that the new political movement would not be called the National Front. Philippot also called Macron\u2019s success \u201ca victory for the financial oligarchy\u201d in an interview to TF1 TV channel.
In the meantime, National Front founder and Marine Le Pen\u2019s father, Jean-Marie le Pen, said that his daughter\u2019s position on the euro and pensions had harmed her campaign. He also accused Philippot, who was one of le Pen\u2019s major advisors, of being responsible for Marine Le Pen\u2019s defeat.<\/p>\n
