Comités Jeanne was founded and is led by Jean-Marie Le Pen

The Jeanne Committees (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a far-right political party founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen after his exclusion from the National Front in France in 2015.

Creation

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder and leader of the National Front (FN) party in France, was initially suspended from the party in May 2015 after claiming that the Holocaust was "a detail of history". After Le Pen successfully challenged the suspension in court, an extraordinary party congress was held in August 2015, and he was expelled from the party.

After considering the creation of a "blue-white-red gathering" in order to "act in the same direction as the national Front" without necessarily belonging to it, he announced, in March 2016, the creation of the Comités Jeanne, named after Joan of Arc, whose slogan is "Jeanne, au secours!" ("Joan, help!" in English), to weigh on the political line of the FN, and planned to present candidates under this label in the legislative elections of 2017, including against FN candidates.

He called on supporters to vote for the FN in the regional elections of 2015 and indicated that the fund-raising organization "Cotelec" had lent six million euros to the FN for the presidential campaign of 2017.

On 17 November 2016, a court of justice in France validated the exclusion of Jean-Marie Le Pen from the National Front without questioning his status as honorary president, thus retaining his right to be summoned to all the party's meetings.

Ideology

French political commentators have placed Comités Jeanne on the far-right of the left–right political spectrum. The party espouses nationalist rhetoric that is staunchly anti-globalist, anti-Zionist and anti-immigration. The party is also Eurosceptic, opposing further European integration it seeks to maintain and preserve France's sovereignty. The charter of the party further outlining its ideology and objectives can be read on Jean Marie Le Pen's website. On February 14, 2023, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) released a report in which it classified the Comités Jeanne as a "white nationalist" and "anti-immigrant" group.
