Will feuding prove politically fatal for France’s Marine Le Pen?
Defections and family feuding could be set to hurt the far-right French presidential candidate.
For decades, the anti-immigration and ultranationalist Le Pen family has dominated far-right politics in France.
However, with an election looming, bitter infighting threatens to undermine the family’s presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen.
A once-close relative, her niece, is backing Le Pen’s main rival after politicians quit the National Rally Party.
Will it build momentum for an even more extreme presidential hopeful?
