Far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen jabs at Charlie Hebdo
Former National Front party leader and far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen says he feels for the victims of the deadly terror attack on Paris newspaper Charlie Hebdo, but he refuses to use the slogan “Je Suis Charlie,” or I am Charlie.
“I feel for the death of the twelve French compatriots,” Le Pen says.

“[But] I will not defend the spirit of Charlie [Hebdo], which is an anarcho-Trotskyist [publication].”
Charlie Hebdo is considered to be associated with the left-wing in France.
