“She’s an old singer,” Miss Le Pen went on. “She no longer
knows what to do to get people talking about her because her songs don’t
work anymore.”
The Hitler connotations follow a drive by Miss Le Pen to try and clean up the
image of the far-Right party and distance herself from supporters who openly
sympathise with the Nazi persecution of the Jews. Her father Jean-Marie
famously described the Nazi gas chambers as a “detail of history”.
An opinion poll last Friday found that 51 per cent of those polled considered
the FN an ordinary political party, compared to 42 per cent who considered
it “not like other parties”.
Miss Le Pen won 17.9 per cent in last month’s presidential election and is
running for a seat in parliamentary elections that take place on June 10 and
17.
