I'm sorta with you on this point. But, the article says that the parties are "described" as being far-right. This is certainly true. The question is: Who's describing them? The parties (like Marion Maréchal's Reconquête! or Jordan Bardella's Rassemblement National) are definitely described as "far right", by Le Monde, for example.

Some context of who is calling them "far-right" and for what reasons would be helpful. My personal experience in talking politics with Belgian family and friends confirms that these parties are considered "far right".
(RN, fwiw, used to be called the Front National, founded by Jean Le Pen. FN would have been called "extreme right", until his daughter, Marine, rebranded the party. Le Pen, btw, is the grandfather of Maréchal. So, it's no wonder that the "far right" label extends to her, as well.")
