portrayed as ideologically consistent and substantively distinct

The article frames Le Pen as having a clear, populist economic vision that contrasts with mainstream right-wing positions, emphasizing her ideological coherence and distinctiveness through expert commentary and direct quotes.

“Ms. Le Pen said that she and the rest of the party favored the tax because the profits of oil companies had skyrocketed during the Iran war, which prompted a surge in fuel prices. That, she said on social media, was an ‘extraordinary profit, not stemming from its skills and innovations but from external factors.’ She called the tax a ‘measure of social justice.’”

Framed as a hostile adversary to democratic stability

Le Pen is consistently grouped under the label 'hard-right' and 'populist,' and the entire narrative hinges on the need for a centrist figure to 'beat' her. This adversarial framing is reinforced by associating her with Jordan Bardella and the National Rally as existential threats.
