A French politician who left Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party for the far-right Front National (FN) has backtracked claiming he was shocked to see candidates sporting swastika tattoos at party meetings.
Marine Le Pen's FN said it was to sue Arnaud Cléré, a 34-year-old council candidate for the northern village of Gamaches, over his remarks which the right-wing party described as a political manoeuvre to discredit it.
"That shocked me," Cléré said. "Listening to Marine Le Pen I thought that these kind of people no longer had a place in FN but unfortunately I saw them with my own eyes."
