Jewish leaders have called on Le Pen, 85, was to be stripped of his parliamentary immunity as an MEP after acontroversial play on words linking "oven" with a celebrated Jewish singer in a video posted in the FN's website.
Launching into an attack on celebrities who have criticised the far-right party, including Madonna and tennis player turned musician Yannick Noah, Le Pen was asked about the French singer Patrick Bruel.
"On fera une fournée la prochaine fois next time we'll make a batch ), he said. The word "four " [from which comes the word "fournée "] translates as oven.
[ Italizing, bracketing and bolding mine
The word "fournée" can be translated as "baker's batch" and can be colloquially be used to speak about a work shift. ]

This is not the first time he has made a play on the word "four"; in 1988, he attacked a minister, Michel Durafour, referring to him as "Durafour-crématoire."
If you are conspirationist, you will conclude that he is playing the devil to make his daughter Marine, new head of the party, more sane(she officially took her distances from her father), while reassuring the most crazy part of the Nationalist electorate.
To give more context : OAS are still dangerous, and the FN keeps them quiet).
In other words : either there is a clash between the daughter & the father, and it's frightening, as it may mean the extreme-right would become violent & out of control again, or it's a plot between them, and it's frightening because they gain stronger position by being clever(and the french left especially stupid & naive).
whatever:

The veterans of the OAS and the Milice will always know they have a place in the FN, even if, now, they have to have a lower profile and not get exposed to do Hitler salutes, among others.
And are arthese recent outbursts caused by the fact the older Le Pen don't want to lose importance in the party he founded to his daughter and her friends?

The important thing is how they feel. If they have to hide too much, they might be tempted to find another home. Being part of a big party, OTOH, is also appealing to them - as long as they somewhat feel at home.
As much as I hate it, the FN has this hygienic function to keep them within the democratic game.

That's possible? I do not have enough insight to know wether he's playing maverick, or if it's plotted. I tend to think he's a maverick, but the (rather simple)conspiration is not to rule out until we get more information.
Yeah, apparently Death to the Jews actually means Have a Fine Day in ancient Saxon.
The worst kind of racist is the one who tries to hide behind a wink and a nod.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
