Engdahl announces J. M. G. Le Clézio | Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio winning the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 9, 2008.

Jacques Chirac was reelected in 2002, mainly because his socialist rival Lionel Jospin was defeated by the extreme right wing candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen.

However, a third contender, Jean-Marie Le Pen, unexpectedly obtained slightly more than Jospin in the first round of elections:

* Jean-Marie Le Pen 16. 86 %

Jean-Marie Le Pen, however, was widely recognized as a controversial nationalist candidate, and in the second round a vast majority of the voters rejected him:

* Jean-Marie Le Pen 17. 79 %

* Extreme-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen qualifies for second round of French Presidential Elections.

While not being present in the national parliaments of France and the United Kingdom, Jean-Marie Le Pen of the National Front came second in the first round of the 2002 French presidential elections, and in the 2009 European Parliament election, the UK Independence Party came second, beating even the Labour Party, while the British National Party managed to win two seats for the first time.

* April 21 – French presidential election, 2002: The first round results in a runoff between Jacques Chirac and the leader of the main French far-right party, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

He allegedly refused any alliance with Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National.

It had been expected that he would face incumbent prime minister Lionel Jospin ( PS ) in the second round of elections ; instead, Chirac faced controversial far right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen of National Front ( FN ) who came in 200, 000 votes ahead of Jospin.

He was labelled a far-right populist by his opponents and in the media, but he fiercely rejected this label and explicitly distanced himself from " far-right " politicians such as the Belgian Filip Dewinter, the Austrian Jörg Haider, or Frenchman Jean-Marie Le Pen whenever compared to them.

Fortuyn was compared with the politicians Jörg Haider and Jean-Marie Le Pen in the foreign press.
