14. Europes Right Tears Itself Apart

Signs of right-wing populist meltdowns are everywhere, from Italy’s erratic Beppe Grillo to the Le Pen family feud.


ROME—As the honeymoon of the Donald Trump election is reaching its bitter end—and even before the new American president is sworn into office—Europe’s own motley clan of anti-establishment misfits are on the edge of self-induced implosion.
One striking example is the family feud between French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, her father, whom she’s expelled from her party, and her niece Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, who has sided with the old man.
In fact, even as Marine Le Pen, according to our sources, is on her way to New York, presumably for a meeting with Trump, the influence his election and his presidency will have on the European populists is far from clear.
