Former head of far-right Front National party slams Charlie Hebdo memorial, says he's 'touched by deaths of 12 French compatriots' but says they 'enemies of the party.'
"I am not Charlie," the former leader of the French far-right Front National (FN) party Jean-Marie Le Pen said on Saturday, referring to the popular phrase and hashtag currently trending on social media in solidarity with the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

Le Pen lamented the deaths of 12 "compatriots" that took place during the attack on Wednesday, but slammed a rally slated to be held in memory of its victims on Sunday as being "orchestrated by the media", Le Figaro news site reported. The FN was not invited to the rally, which a number of world leaders are expected to attend.
