"France’s far-right Front National (FN) is to sue Madonna for using a picture of its leader with a swastika on her forehead.
A spokesman for Marine Le Pen, the FN president who came third in the May presidential elections, said a lawsuit for “public insult” would be lodged with the Paris courts in the next few days.
At a concert in the French capital on Saturday evening, the American singer showed a video in which Le Pen’s face appears with other well-known figures including Pope Benedict, Chinese leader Hu Jintao and US Republican Sarah Palin. In the clip, shown on a giant screen to accompany the song Nobody Knows Me, Le Pen, 43, appears with the Nazi symbol overlaid on her face, just before an image resembling Adolf Hitler."
