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.

Thousands take to the street all over France to protest against Le Pen.

* 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.

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.

All parties outside the National Front ( except for Lutte ouvrière ) called for opposing Le Pen, even if it meant voting for Chirac.

The 14-day period between the two rounds of voting was marked by demonstrations against Le Pen and slogans such as " Vote for the crook, not for the fascist " or " Vote with a clothespin on your nose ".

Chirac wrote he considered firing Sarkozy before, and conceded responsibility in allowing Jean Marie Le Pen to advance in 2002.

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.

An explicit comparison with Le Pen was made by Ad Melkert, then lijsttrekker of the Labour Party, who said in Emmen on 24 April 2002:

Jean-Marie Le Pen (; born 20 June 1928 ) is a French right-wing and nationalist politician who is founder and former president of the Front National ( National Front ) party.

Le Pen has run for the French presidency five times, most notably in 2002, when in a surprise upset he came second, polling more votes in the first round than the main left candidate, Lionel Jospin.

Le Pen lost in the second round to Jacques Chirac.

Le Pen again ran in the 2007 French presidential election and finished fourth.
