Sale!

The Front National has, due to financial problems, been forced to put its headquarters in Saint-Cloud up for sale.

Following the poor electoral performance of FN earlier this year, the partys annual grant has been decreased by 60%, from €4.6 million to €1.8 million.

Front National's debt now runs up to a total of €8 million.
