Anti-Euro Party’s Le Pen Gains Supporters, French Poll Shows


Anti-Euro Party’s Le Pen Gains Supporters, French Poll Shows




Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s anti-euro, anti-immigration National Front party, is gaining support among mainstream voters, a TNS-Sofres survey published today for Le Monde showed.
Forty-six percent of people polled said Le Pen is “the face of patriotic conservatives, with traditional values,” while 43 percent said she heads the “nationalistic, xenophobic extreme right,” the Sofres survey showed.
Marine Le Pen, 45, is the daughter of the party’s founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen. The National Front advocates exiting the euro, cracking down on illegal immigrants, capping legal migrants and greater integration of Muslims. . . .
     Good luck on that last one, Marine.
