In France, the far-right Rassemblement National advocates for a "national preference" policy that discriminates against foreigners in social rights. Started by Jean-Marie Le Pen and continued by Marine Le Pen, they present it as common sense despite violating international treaties.

Intellectuals like François Duprat and Jean-Yves Le Gallou have helped shape these discriminatory policies.
