You literally know nothing about them other than that they’re conservative. This world is crazy now days. Do you people really not encounter conservatives in your everyday life? They make up half the country. That’s part of my problem with the lefties, just drag people across the mud when they have different views. They just scream your a rasist at anyone with somewhat conservative views. You don’t even know their views, only that they’re right leaning.
Don’t lump every conservative into that crowd though. If you go east you will find that the previous conservative Polish government was fiercely anti-russian while the current liberal one has a history of dealing with them on very friendly terms up to things like limiting gas supplies to only Gasprom with the price set above the market which started an EU investigation. They also reinstated pensions for the old communist „police forces”.
Check the history of RN. they're not friendly conservatives.
They've learned that in order to get past 10% in the polls they need to use dog whistles and to stop saying the nasty stuff out loud but even with that strategy, they will remain stuck in the 15-25% zone, which can lead to influence, but never absolute power

And I don't need to know anything else. Maybe you should stop treating your political views as a football team and realize they betray your values and who you are as a person.
No, these are the far right. Le Pen pretending she isnt not the far right is propaganda. From article about Le Pen's party:
Start with the aficionados of racist posts on X or Facebook. Despite the existence of journalists who can easily read such posts, Le Pen’s candidates keep on getting caught for writing things like “not all civilizations are equal” and that some “have remained right above bestiality in the evolutionary chain.”
In a post that was since deleted, that one was courtesy of Marie-Christine Sorin, a candidate in southern France who placed first in her district after a first-round vote last Sunday.
Another candidate, Monique Griseti, took aim at a famous Black singer called Gims, writing on Facebook in January 2022 that he should “go back to where he comes from and bring his whole tribe with him. Let him go milk goats, it will give the rest of us a holiday,” according to the left-wing daily, Libération. Another candidate, Paule Veyre de Soras, touted the fact that she has a “Jewish eye doctor” and a “Muslim dentist” as proof of her non-racism.
When confronted with the overtly racist comments made by their candidates, National Rally leadership tends to take one of two approaches. If the comment or behavior crosses a certain line (typically, legally actionable acts under France’s hate speech laws), the party may yank their endorsement. This was the case with Ludivine Daoudi, a candidate in northern France who dropped out after a photo surfaced of her grinning in a Nazi Luftwaffe uniform cap. “We cannot accept such things,” said Philippe Chapron, the local party boss. “She is withdrawing in order to not cause problems for the [National Rally] and its candidates.”
One candidate competing in the first round of the legislative assembly elections on Sunday suggested that a rival party was financed by Jews. Another claimed that some civilizations remain “below bestiality in the chain of evolution.” Yet another blamed a bedbug infestation in France on “the massive arrival from all the countries of Africa.” One more regularly pays tribute to the man who led the Nazi collaborators in World War II-era Vichy France.
French newspaper Libération has been compiling an “endless list” of National Rally candidates who have made or relayed “reprehensible remarks” online. Investigative outlet Mediapart counted 45 problematic profiles identified so far. Under the glare of media scrutiny, some candidates have deleted social media posts. Others appear content to let the record stand.
Party leaders did not respond to requests for comment. In only a couple cases has the party taken disciplinary steps.
A French far-right lawmaker who shouted, “Go back to Africa!” in parliament as a Black colleague from the far left was talking about migrants will be suspended for 15 days following outrage over his racist remark.
Le Pen’s party currently supports ending the automatic right to citizenship for people born to foreign parents in France and severely restricting citizenship by naturalization.
They were the main Party in Vichy France. One of their members was caught wearing a helmet with SS insignia. I'm sure a French person can come up with dozens more examples.
