I read the article twice. Where is the evidence that Marine is an anti-Semite? Or do you subscribe to the idea that a daughter is responsible for her father’s sins? To assert that the purge of the anti-Semites in the party is a political ploy is not supported by the information presented in the article, apart from the author’s opinion. That seems cynical.

Similarly, wanting to reign in Islamic enclaves in a nation which is beset by Jihad inspired terrorism is not racist.

I fully acknowledge that apart from this article I know very little about French politics, and evidence of Marine’s racism might be out there. But the article hasn’t made the case for it.

Apart from these criticisms, it is an interesting article. Thanks.

This sounds like democracy to me. Messy, impure intentions perhaps, but legitimate concerns underlying them.

So... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Politically pro-gay but still viscerally anti-Semitic?
