'Okay' or 'white power'? Far-right leader Marine Le Pen under fire for making gesture used by white supremacists
In May, French politician Marine Le Pen hosted the leaders of Europe’s far right movements in France’s Nice to develop a continental political alliance.
Far-right French politician, Marine Le Pen, has come under fire after she appeared to pose for a photo while making a white-nationalist hand gesture. The leader of the National Rally, formerly the National Front, said that she was unaware of the gesture’s meaning. Le Pen was in the Estonian capital Tallinn on Tuesday, meeting members of the country’s far-right Conservative People’s Party , as part of negotiations to form a far-right coalition for the upcoming European elections. The gesture is formed by joining the tip of the thumb with that of the index finger to spell out ‘WP’ or ‘White Power’.
