Marie Le Pen, the expelled founder of France's National Front party, launched a new party on Saturday, according to the Reuters news agency. The announcement of the new party, to be called "Blue-White-Red rally" after the colors of the French flag, overshadowed an annual gathering of his daughter Marine's FN taking place in Marseille, three months before regional elections. "You will not be orphans," the 87-year-old Jean-Marie Le Pen, expelled from the FN last month , told supporters in a restaurant in the same city, according to Reuters . Le Pen announced in May that he would create his own "grouping" after being suspended from the party, but at the time claimed he had no plans to launch an alternative to his daughter's party.
