France's Le Pen to force through National Front name change
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen is to force through a controversial name change for her National Front party on Sunday after being re-elected for a third term as leader. Meeting in the northeastern city of Lille, the 49-year-old was expected to unveil the party's new identity, burying the National Front (FN) name that has been associated with her father Jean-Marie since 1972.
