The Front National (FN) have been out of the media limelight after their defeat to Emmanuel Macron in last May’s presidential elections.
A new name, leadership structure and bylaws are being unveiled at the conference this weekend with the aim of the party becoming relevant again.
The outcome of Italy’s election last week has energised France’s far right after the Five Star Movement and the anti-immigration League beat the traditional parties.
Speaking today at the conference, leader of the FN, Marine Le Pen, said: “Our individual and collective commitments go towards a cause that is greater than us.
“It is for France that we fight, it is for France that we will win.
“Long live the Republic, Long live France!”
She also said: “It is because we are Europeans that we are opposed to the European Union!
“We reject the prison logic of this EU”.
The FN won 33.9 per cent of the second vote against Macron last year when supporters had hoped to win at least 40 per cent.
