France’s conservative Republicans party divided over alliance with far right
France's conservative Republicans party was fraying on Wednesday after its leader called for an alliance between his party's candidates and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) in a snap parliamentary election. Eric Ciotti's call to ditch a decades-long consensus among France's mainstream political parties and seek to join forces with the far-right has proven too much to stomach for many in his party, the one-time home of former President Jacques Chirac.
