Marine Le Pen is the daughter and is now the head of the party, taking over from her dad. However the Antisemitic background of the party is not easy to get rid of, internally!
A lot of people (inside and outside the country) like them because of their stance towards the Muslims, but the problem is ... you find that their stance towards the Jews is pretty bad!

Marine Le Pen watch: Meet the man tracking every racist and anti-Semitic comment of FN party

“We look at the face these candidates propose, we don’t look behind. And what’s very surprising is that even without looking behind the face of the FN, we still see comments advocating hatred and violence and calls to kill in numbers that are not anecdotal.”
The founder of the platform said despite the fact these lines of thought have receded in the French society, “at the FN, that has stayed”.
“We have candidates obsessed with the Jewish conspiracy, who believe black people are 2000 years behind, who compare Christiane Taubira (a black minister) to a monkey,” he told IBTimes UK. “And the fact this is all on public profile pages of those candidates, for instance, is bewildening.
“It’s easy to say what has shocked us: some candidates say ‘death to the Jews’, some say ‘death to the Arabs’, some rejoice at the death of Roma gypsies – it’s not really subtle.”
Part of the situation is French snobbery, which cuts both ways. It won’t invite harmful foreigners, but neither will it welcome helpful foreigners.
