Ms Le Pen has distanced herself from her father’s controversial views on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. “I am not racist, not anti-Semitic, not xenophobic, but patriotic,” she said.
La Peste Blonde, as she has been called, succeeded in bringing the National Front not just back into the spotlight, but into the competition for presidency with a driving force. She dismisses the label “extreme right” for her party, seeing herself as a “moderate”.
“That’s the difference between Geert Wilders and me. He reads the Qur’an literally: you can’t interpret the Qur’an – or indeed the Bible – literally. I resist fundamentalists who want to impose their will and law on France. Sharia Law is not compatible with our principles, our values or democracy,” Ms Le Pen asserted in the interview with Radio 1 reporter Frank Renout.
