The Le Pen Feud Continues

Angelique Chrisafis of the Guardian writes:

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French far-right veteran and co-founder of the Front National, has won a third legal victory in the increasingly bitter feud with his daughter and party leader, Marine Le Pen.The Versailles appeals court upheld an earlier legal decision in favour of the 87-year-old that annulled his daughter’s attempt to suspend him from the party and declared unlawful her postal ballot of party members, which sought to remove his title as honorary party president.

Bitter sectarianism is a distinctive feature of all extremism.
