This article addresses the political representation of the municipal team members in a city of Southern France, led by the National Front (FN), a French far-right party, since 2014. As agents of FN’s strategy of ‘normalization’, elected representatives have to comply with roles prescribed by the municipal institution. Benefiting from small social capital and limited political experience, they invest, as a counterpoint, an apolitical register of proximity and communal devotion. However, the neutralization of their political affiliation remains variable, considering that they still provide guarantees for their local electorate on the core themes of the extreme right (security, migration and religious issues), when they have the power and the legitimacy to do so.
