"This time Marine is in charge and her true colours have emerged, at least economically.
Statistical analysis has revealed that 66 per cent of Le Pen’s manifesto is left-leaning,
focusing on healthcare, public services and redistribution. Conservative economics such as
free market reforms and small government comprise only 21 per cent; in 2017 it was 35
per cent and under her father in the 1980s it was 80."

Despite this Le Pen is still depicted, in the words of this week’s New York Times, as
‘hard-right’ and ‘anti-immigrant’. She is neither. She has made a clear distinction
between Islam and Islamists, stressing she has no enmity against the religion, which
earned her the ridicule of Macron’s interior minister, who accused her of being ‘soft’ on
Islam. As for immigrants, as Le Pen stressed in a recent TV debate, she welcomes
genuine refugees, such as Ukrainians, but not young men from Africa in search of better
economic opportunities."
