France's Le Pen criticizes Canadian immigration, refugee policy
TORONTO
French right-wing politician Marine Le Pen, who is touring the Canadian province of Quebec, said on Sunday the country's immigration policy was on the "wrong path," at an event where one of her bodyguards reportedly struck a protester.
The Canadian Press news agency reported the Front National leader's remarks at a news conference in Quebec City.
Le Pen and her party could not immediately be reached for comment. Quebec police were at the scene but made no arrests, they said.
The Huffington Post posted a video of the event, which showed a man hitting another in the face. It said the Canadian Press identified the attacker as a bodyguard of Le Pen.
Le Pen also said that if her party were to take power in France, it would recognize Quebec as a sovereign state, the Canadian Press reported.
