In 2017, she ran for president and parliament. Her constituency is the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, which is centred on the working-class former mining town of Hénin-Beaumont in Northern France. Her constituency is the birthplace of the workers' movement in France.

Le Pen is strongly opposed to Globalization.[1]

Le Pen is a Eurosceptic who wants France to leave the Schengen Area to reinstate French borders. She wants to leave NATO and pursue a France First foreign policy. She supports the establishment of a privileged partnership with Russia. She met with Vladimir Putin in 2017.[2]

Le Pen opposed France's involvement in the 2011 Attacks on Libya, calling it “a serious mistake ... with serious consequences.”[3]

She has repeatedly urged that France should promptly withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan.[4]
