Spring Contest: Pen and Anti-Immigration Party

spring contest: The timing is so bad just months before the spring contest that Le Pen, a leading candidate, smells a rat, according to Brandon Sun. The National Front party president rails at a system she wants to break, but claims is out to break her. But some things are spinning out of her carefully controlled orbit, like a movie that presents an unflattering picture and real-life legal problems. She vows it won't. Le Pen spent years working to detoxify the image of her anti-immigration party, a pariah in French politics before she took it over in 2011 from her father, founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was convicted multiple times of racism and anti-Semitism. I can only say we will defend ourselves with all our means, but it's not a democratic way of functioning, Le Pen said, blasting the European Union Parliament in which she serves as a deputy and French prosecutors probing her party.
