Man, I did not want to see Marine LePen advance in the French presidential election, but she has.
She's the leader of the far right National Front, taking over after her father was convicted of racism and anti-semitism.
There will be a run off between her and Emmanuel Macron (both pictured above). Macron is a centrist pro-European Union ex-banker and economy minister who founded his own party only a year ago. The next round of voting goes down on May 7.
LePen's pledges include expelling foreigners and organising a referendum to bring France out of the EU as quickly as possible, which would mean returning to the Franc and leaving NATO.
LePen has been supported by US President Donald Trump because he says she is the 'strongest on borders, and she's the strongest on what's been going on in France'.
