Nevertheless, and notwithstanding the racist
murders committed by some members (see Brahim
Bouarram thrown in the Seine, and Ibrahim Ali,
shot), the FN continued its progress and even
managed to gain some towns in 1995, such as
Toulon and Orange, where, once more, such mayors
managed to show their crass incompetence[3] and
got booted in 2001 by the electors.

On May 1, 1995, skinheads rallying with the
far-right National Front (FN) threw Brahim
Bouarram, a 29-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan
descent, into the River Seine and disappeared
into the crowds. [...] At the time of Bouarram's
death, Jean-Marie Le Pen described the incident
as "minor". [...] "The FN is an anti-Semitic,
racist, xenophobic party," said Abdallah, also of
the ATMF. "The normalisation of the ideas of the
NF is worrying us. Even more so, it scares us
that a large proportion of the army, gendarmerie
and police vote for Marine Le Pen. We are scared
for our kids who have brown, black and Arab faces
when they get stopped by the police."

[Ibrahim Ali] was walking with a group of ten
other young men in Marseilles' XVth
arrondissement, when they encountered three
supporters of Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National
party, armed with guns, who had been posting
campaign signs nearby. The latter group opened
fire on them. Ibrahim Ali was shot in the back.
- baud147258 9y agoThank you for your answer. That could be constructed as racist hate crime by party "supporters" (not even members), and could have nothing to do with the party itself. On the other hand, since it align with the party's ideology, it can be said that the FN has a part in it. But I don't see how it shows that the FN has murdered any politicians, which was what I was asking about
