Frances far-right National Front held a much-anticipated refoundation congress over the weekend to tout a new party name intended to downplay its anti-Semitic history and present a fresh start after months of internal chaos.

Instead, the divisive name offered by National Front leader Marine Le Pen is almost identical to a French Nazi-collaborationist party from World War II.

Le Pen proposed on Sunday the party should rename itself Rassemblement National, which translates to National Rally. Almost immediately after the big reveal, French media and experts on far-right groups noted the similarity to a party founded in 1941 to work with with the Nazis Rassemblement National Populaire.

As HuffPost France notes , Rassemblement National Populaire was an avowedly racist, fascist party with a symbol that closely resembles the Nazis swastika flag. Party founder Marcel Deat fled France as Allied forces liberated the country in 1944, and died as a fugitive hiding in Italy in 1955.

Its unclear how Le Pen settled on the name, which bears some similarity to a political organization she started in 2012 called Rassemblement Bleu Marine .
