PHOTO: FRANCOIS NASCIMBENI / AFPFrance's far-right leader Marine Le Pen, whose National Front (FN) party emerged weakened and divided from this year's elections, said on Saturday she was "determined" to revitalise her movement. Le Pen garnered 34 percent of the vote against 66 percent for Macron in the May presidential runoff. While the result was a historic high for the FN, many within the party were deeply disappointed, faulting Le Pen for running a poor campaign. But on Saturday, Le Pen, 49, said: "We are the exact antithesis of Macronism."
