Brussels, 10/10/2013 (Agence Europe) - The anti-European populist French Front National party, which claims it is not on the far right, is top of the polls for the European elections for 2014 with 24% of those polled saying they are likely to vote for the Front National, according to a poll published on Wednesday 9 October by magazine Le Nouvel Observateur. The poll found that 24% of those polled said they were planning to vote in the May 2014 European elections for a far right party. Some 22% said they were planning to vote for the UMP, 19% for the PS, 11% for the UDI-MoDem, 10% for Front de Gauche and 6% for EELV. The polling body said that this was the first time in a poll of voting intentions in France that the FN was clearly ahead of both the PS and the UMP, gaining 3% on the previous poll (in May 2012). The Front National, headed by Marine Le Pen, won 6.34% of the vote in the European elections in 2009. (SP/transl.fl)
