Jean-Marie Le Pen announced the creation of a new party
The founder of the French National Front, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who lost his post as honorary chairman of the party in August, announced the creation of a new right-wing political movement. “We can act like the National Front, even if we are not part of it,” Le Pen said, speaking to his supporters in Marseille. Le Pen refused to accept the decision to remove him from the leadership of the National Front. “We must put an end to this witch hunt,” he said.
