Nationalism Rising In France

France is struggling with high unemployment closing in on the 10% mark, and a socialist welfare state contributing to high budget deficits.

France almost lost its AAA credit rating this year.

Here is a link to an interview with Marine Le Pen on BBC Hardtalk.

Note that she is the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, former leader of the NFP and her platform includes leaving the Euro.
