Far-right leader Marine Le Pen wins seat in French parliament
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen wins a seat in the French parliament, a senior figure in her National Front (FN) party tells AFP.
Le Pen, 48, the presidential runner-up to centrist Emmanuel Macron, will represent her northern fiefdom of Henin-Beaumont, a depressed former mining town, Steeve Briois says.
