French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen lashed out at her far-right rival Eric Zemmour on Tuesday, saying his anti-migration campaign is too extreme even for her.
“He brings nothing more except maybe brutality,” Le Pen said of the former media pundit in an interview in Paris with Bloomberg TV. “You have to be firm, clear, warn of what you are going to do, but you don’t need to add brutality to it. We don’t need to attack people.”
