Le Pen has decided to remain in politics though he was disqualified for France’s regional elections on grounds he doesn’t live in the southern area where he wanted to be a candidate.
“It is not at all his funeral,” said Alain Vizier, referring to the court ruling Sunday that rendered Le Pen ineligible for the March regional elections.
Asked if Le Pen, now 75, will run for president in 2007, Vizier replied: “In theory, if everything goes well, yes.”
Le Pen’s platform calls for deporting illegal immigrants, withdrawing from the European Union, bringing back the death penalty and abolishing abortion.
