MARION MARECHAL-LE PEN

I've been a National Front member since I was 17, and active supporter for a long time.

People have said I'm a puppet, an instrument of my grandfather, but I think they quickly realised that I'm my own person, that I have autonomy in my actions. I think they rapidly realised I could look after myself.

When you're the single French person in the middle of 10 Tunisians, the majority will impose their way of life on the minority.

We can see that immigration has become favorable terrain for the development of Islamism.

Marine Le Pen belongs to her generation, I belong to mine. I got into politics for Marine Le Pen and with her as party leader.

No one is attacking Islam, as such. We accept that there is a large French-born Islamic population in France who have a right to be here. The FN is not a racist or Islamophobic party.

I'm fighting for Marine Le Pen to become president.

In the family, no one is ever pushed. I came to politics spontaneously; there was no obligation. It has to happen naturally.

I am proud to wear the name Le Pen.

We will absolutely respect the law until we are in government at the national level and can change it.

I believe Jean-Marie Le Pen is a man of his word, and he will not go back on his words.

Now, there's a desire for order, authority coming from a feeling that society has gone too far to the side of individualism and liberalism.

In my grandfather's time, the FN was founded largely as an anti-Communist party.

The life of a female politician makes it hard to combine personal life and work, but I think it is almost a patriotic duty to have children.

If I went into politics, it's because I grew up in a political atmosphere.

We are not a land of Islam. In our country, we don't wear djellaba clothing, we don't wear a veil, and we don't impose cathedral-sized mosques.

A form of protectionism should be enforced at national level, at least on strategic areas such as agriculture.

I'm not obsessed with the rights of women; it can be a bit excessive. I want to put men and women on an equal footing. I think we are equal but different.

In France, when there was a war, we fought and our ancestors fought, though many had real reason to flee the Germans.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.

If the elites listened, they would understand why French young people like me are joining our ranks.

It makes no sense economically that public money goes to help foreign workers and migrants in a region where unemployment is higher than national average.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, in my family, we didn't talk about politics at home.

We are not racists or extremists in the Front National. We are people who love our country.

I have empathy; I am humane. I understand human misery.
