MARINE Le Pen’s Front National party looks to be running into trouble ahead of the crunch vote this weekend.
After her bitter defeat last month to Emmanuel Macron, France’s youngest youngest president, she is hopping to claw back some political muscle.
Following the national elections which saw Mr Macron’s and his En Marche! party sweep to victory, legislative elections are now underway to fill the country’s 577 members of the national assembly.
Mr Macron’s party is widely tipped to clinch a landslide number of seats, with Front National’s (FN) chances of winning even 15 seats - the threshold to form a parliamentary group - looking slim.
Fighting for her political career, Marine Le Pen’s campaign has been dogged by claims of racist online behaviour from FN members, throwing the party’s future into doubt.
