PARIS, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Injecting new breath into the divided populist National Front party (FN) and setting a "determined opposition" against "oligarchs" of Macronism are key to defending France's identity in face of globalism and market liberalism, FN leader Marine Le Pen said Saturday.
Le Pen, weakened by internal rifts and growing criticism over her failure in the presidential race, expressed "strong determination to act not for me but for you, not alone but with you," when she addressed followers in Brachay, a far-rightist stronghold in northeastern France.
"A new organization will be decided in (the party's) congress and will have a new name that you will decide," she told her supporters.
The anti-immigrant and nationalism advocate said she would work "to defend a sustainable France, its economic and social balance, identity and culture, the existence of which the president denies."
Firing at President Emmanuel Macron's liberal platform that offers "power to market hands," and the government's inaction in fixing security and migration problems, Le Pen describes the FN as "the base of political and ideological stability," and "the exact antithesis of Macronism," which she said represented "the triumph of the ruling class."
In turn, she proposed "major radical reforms," and a "renewed" and "more decentralized" party so that "France remains the country for its children and for the world."
After a disappointing performance in the May 7 presidential campaign, Le Pen was dogged by internal rifts among the party's senior officials over whether to soften her hostility against the euro.
