lies with those who have aligned themselves with a single ideology because they want to be similar to other political parties. that is the wish of a few dinosaurs at the national front. they succeeded. but it is my belief they made a political error, not me. >> the controversy began with the pen posted his weekly online video. musicianssaid including a jury singer who criticized the far right party should be put in an oven. >> i am not surprised. we should make a full batch next time. >> the remark forced his daughter to distance herself saying his comments had a negative effect on the national front. having taken over the party from her father in 2011, she has been trying to reshape the national front's image as a mainstream contender rather than a fascist french party -- fringe party. it has been working.

found so repelling? is partle pen has done of a provocative strategy he has been using for many years, saying something that seems racist, anti-semitic, were unacceptable and then claiming he is being willfully misinterpreted. it is about playing on ambiguity. he is just been in the headlines ebolas remarks about the virus solving the problems of immigration. is at it again. olaknow he said this about eb before the european elections and it did not seem to dent 4 ofr performance taking 1/ the votes and seats in the european parliament. it did not damage at the last time around. will it this time? we will have to see. parisminutes past 1:00 in paid the headlines this afternoon.
