The French's far right National Front party was in under the control of Jean-Marie Le Pen until Sunday. On Sunday he handed control over to his daughter, Marine. She was elected by more than two-thirds of the members. She intends to fight Islam, who is a supposed threat to France. Le Pen has 12 percent of support in France right now which could threaten current president in the upcoming elections. People say that Ms. Le Pen is very different from her father in her views concerning the Jewish people, she is more focused on the Muslims and the dangers they hold to the country. Her political base is that of a local counselor to the working-class.
