French far-right 'dediabolization' strategy targets Jewish voters, book claims

A new book argues that the National Rally's strategy of 'dediabolization'—aimed at making the party electable—has included a deliberate effort to court Jewish voters by softening its anti-Semitic image. The claim is based on historical analysis of the party's founding and leadership choices, but the book's thesis is an interpretation rather than a documented policy shift. This matters because it frames the far-right's electoral strategy in France ahead of upcoming elections.
