Wow! Le Pen knocks out Jospin in French national election. Le Pen is anti immigration. This should shake up the EU elites. nytimes.com PARIS -- In a huge upset, extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen qualified on Sunday to face President Jacques Chirac in the runoff for French president, according to media projections based on exit polls. Le Pen, who virulently opposes immigration, was projected to place second by all three major French networks, beating Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, who was in third place. The projected result was seen as a political earthquake. For months, polls had consistently projected that Chirac and Jospin would be the top two finishers Sunday with no candidate winning a majority to avoid a second round.
