France: Le Pen's National Rally ahead of Macron's party in first estimates.
IN THE FRENCH PAPERS - Monday, March 12: We look at reactions after the National Front's party congress on the weekend and Marine le Pen's proposed party name change. New name, same party? Also, Emmanuel Macron wraps up his trip to India in which he's signed a host of lucrative contracts.
FRENCH PAPERS 12.12.16 Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron's Saturday rally has 'thrown the Socialists into disarray', according to French daily Les Echos. But centre-right Le Figaro wonders how 'revolutionary' Macron really is. National Front leader Marine le Pen meanwhile is - as leftwing paper Libération puts it - battling with 'deep ideological divisions' in her party, after her niece Marion Maréchal le Pen restated her belief that the state should not pay for abortions.
The recent Paris terror attacks upended plenty, including the campaign for upcoming regional elections. François Hollande has enjoyed a 22% jump in the polls, but it's all eyes on far-right leader Marine Le Pen who is going from strength to strength. She now tops the National Front's candidates in the third largest region in France. What does it say about French politics, in the wake of the attacks, in the throes of anemic growth and unemployment, and in the run-up to a presidential election?
