It is an anti-immigration party, advocating significant cuts to legal immigration and protection of French identity,^[25] as well as stricter control of illegal immigration. It also advocates for a 'more balanced' and 'independent' French foreign policy by opposing French military intervention in Africa and by distancing France from the American sphere of influence by leaving NATO's integrated command. It has opposed the European Union (EU) and its related organisations. It also supports French economic interventionism and protectionism, and its economic and social policies are often classified as left leaning; it has a zero tolerance approach towards law and order.^[14] The party has been accused of promoting xenophobia and antisemitism.^[
