Anti-Euro Le Pen’s Record Vote to Weigh on French Election

Almost one in five French voters cast their ballots for National Front leader Marine Le Pen’s call to abandon the euro and turn her country into an anti-immigrant fortress.

While that wasn’t enough to propel her into the final round of the presidential election, her party’s record 17.9 percent showing make her supporters key to the May 6 runoff between President Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Francois Hollande.
