The debate that begins with the rise of the extreme right across Europe needs to be practical and theoretical. As a regional-stable and ambitious party, an analysis of the French extreme-right populist party Front National in this direction will give an idea of both the overall view of other extreme-right parties in Europe and the future of these parties. The main objective of working with this assumption is to try to explain the transformation that Front National has spent from the establishment to the present day, the possessed heritage and the conditions of the period without neglecting. The main claim in this context is that the 2011 presidential change created a fundamental breakthrough within the party and the country’s politics. In the past, Jean-Marie Le Pen had achieved a limited success, under the influence of the dominant extreme right-wing ideology. Together with Marine Le Pen, the party has largely left its ideological baggage and began to highlight its populist identity with a strong republican emphasis. Therefore, in the genetic sense, the article tries to show what an extreme right-wing ideology can be dressed under the populism shirt. In French politics, especially since the 19th century, some extreme right-wing movements have emerged, but soon they have lost their influence. Front National has achieved success in making its hegemony functional, especially after 2011 (neo)populist politics with the maneuver area created by the conditions of the period. The Front National continues to rise despite the corporate-building barriers, taking into account the last few elections. At the point of view, the impact of this rise and the impulse that the social legitimacy has given, leads to a great pressure on the political system and institutional parties, forcing them to change.
