Front Party: Pen and Macron

front party: The first round of voting on April 23 saw Macron and Le Pen came in first and second out of a field of 11 candidates, including several from more established political parties, according to CTV. A hard distinction has been drawn between Macron and the controversial Le Pen, whose Nationalist Front party has a long history of controversies. On Sunday, votes will be cast in France itself to determine whether Emmanuel Macron of En Marche! or the National Front's Marine Le Pen will succeed Francois Hollande as the country's political leader. Le Pen's father Jean-Marie, who led the party before her, was expelled due to numerous statement he made minimizing the Holocaust. That's what's interesting about this election, said Quentin Janel, a French native who teaches political science at UQAM. It's two completely different directions. Le Pen herself has been criticizing for anti-immigrant positions and statements that many critics have called Islamophobic. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
