Madonna Attacked by French National Leader Marine Le Pen

…after depicting her with a swastika on her face during Israeli concert.

Madonna was today threatened with legal action and accused of being an ageing self-publicist after she depicted the head of one of France’s biggest political parties as a Nazi.

An image of National Front leader Marine Le Pen (pictured right) with a swastika on her forehead appeared on a giant screen at the singer’s concert in Tel Aviv, Israel on Thursday.

The furious politician has threatened to sue Madonna if she repeats the stunt when her tour reaches France in July.

Ms Le Pen said: ‘We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes.’

Asked if she was likely to sue, Ms Le Pen, 43, said: ‘If she does that in France, we’ll be waiting’.

Madonna, who will turn 54 in August, is due in France next month, when she will appear at the Stade de France in Paris and then in Nice on the Riviera.
