Perpignan, France: Former far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen on Wednesday urged voters to inflict "the most crushing electoral sanction" possible on President Emmanuel Macron's party in European elections next month.
The parliamentary leader of the National Rally (RN) spoke at a party congress in the run-up to the European Parliament contest on June 9.
The far-right party has been leading in the polls, well ahead of Macron's centrist alliance Renaissance.
"We must counter them, we must sanction them, we must dismiss them," she told followers in the southern city of Perpignan.
"We must inflict on those in power the most crushing electoral sanction that we can," she said.
