French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen's grave vandalised three weeks after his death
The grave of Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s far-right National Front party – now called the National Rally (RN) – was vandalised with a sledgehammer in the cemetery of La Trinité-sur-Mer, his family said Friday. Le Pen was a controversial figure in France who voiced openly racist and anti-Semitic views during his career.
