Editing National Rally (section)

=== International affiliation and relations ===
====1980s-2000s====
The FN has been part of several groups in the [[European Parliament]]. The first group it helped co-establish was the [[European Right (1984–1989)|European Right]] after the 1984 election, which also consisted of the [[Italian Social Movement]] (MSI), its early inspiration, and the Greek [[National Political Union (Greece)|National Political Union]].{{sfn|Shields|2007|p=198}} Following the 1989 election, it teamed up with the German [[The Republicans (Germany)|Republicans]] and the Belgian [[Vlaams Blok]] in a new [[European Right (1989–1994)|European Right]] group, while the MSI left due to the Germans' arrival.{{sfn|DeClair|1999|p=193}} As the MSI evolved into the [[National Alliance (Italy)|National Alliance]], it chose to distance itself from the FN.{{sfn|DeClair|1999|p=194}}

From 1999 to 2001, the FN was a member of the [[Technical Group of Independents (1999–2001)|Technical Group of Independents]]. In 2007, it was part of the short-lived [[Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty]] group. Between the mentioned groups, the party sat among the non-affiliated [[Non-Inscrits]]. It was part of the [[Identity and Democracy]] group.

It was formerly known as the Europe of Nations and Freedom group, during which time it also included the Polish [[Congress of the New Right]], a former member of the [[UK Independence Party]] and a former member of Romania's [[Conservative Party (Romania)|Conservative Party]]. The RN has also been part of the [[Identity and Democracy Party]] (formerly the Movement for a Europe of Nations and Freedom) since 2014, which additionally includes Slovakia's [[We Are Family (Slovakia)|We Are Family]] and the Bulgarian [[Volya Movement]], which was later renamed [[Patriots.eu]]. After the [[2024 European Parliament election]], the National Rally joined the [[Patriots for Europe]] group with Fidesz, Vox, the Czech [[ANO 2011]], the Portuguese [[Chega (political party)|Chega]], the Greek [[Voice of Reason (political party)|Voice of Reason]], [[Latvia First]] and most former ID members, with Bardella ultimately chairing the group.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.eu/article/patriots-for-europe-jordan-bardella-viktor-orban-marine-le-pen/|title=Patriots for Europe becomes EU parliament's 3rd-largest group, picks Jordan Bardella as president|website=Politico Europe|date=8 July 2024|access-date=8 July 2024}}</ref>

During Jean-Marie Le Pen's presidency, the party has also been active in establishing extra-parliamentary confederations. During the FN's 1997 national congress, the FN established the loose [[Euronat]] group, which consisted of a variety of European [[right-wing]] parties. Having failed to cooperate in the European Parliament, Le Pen sought in the mid-1990s to initiate contacts with other far-right parties, including from non-EU countries. The FN drew most support in Central and Eastern Europe, and Le Pen visited the Turkish [[Welfare Party]]. The significant [[Freedom Party of Austria]] (FPÖ) refused to join the efforts, as [[Jörg Haider]] sought to distance himself from Le Pen, and later attempted to build a separate group.<ref name="tnyt2">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/23/news/23iht-1r_35.html|work=[[The New York Times]]|title=A consistent opponent of immigration: Le Pen based appeal on fears about crime|first=Barry|last=James|date=23 April 2002|access-date=2 August 2011|archive-date=18 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130518041254/http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/23/news/23iht-1r_35.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=http://ispo.fss.muni.cz/uploads/2download/fukuoka/Mares.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110818171825/http://ispo.fss.muni.cz/uploads/2download/fukuoka/Mares.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2011-08-18|title=Transnational Networks of Extreme Right Parties in East Central Europe: Stimuli and Limits of Cross-Border Cooperation|first=Miroslav|last=Mareš|publisher=[[Masaryk University]]|location=Brno, Czech Republic|date=July 2006|pages=11–13, 24}}</ref> In 2009, the FN joined the [[Alliance of European National Movements]]; it left the alliance since.
