Paris, Rajab 27, 1435, May 26, 2014, SPA -- French President Francois Hollande convened a crisis meeting Monday with several cabinet ministers to discuss the victory of the far-right National Front (FN) - and trouncing of his Socialists - in the European elections, dpa reported. Prime Minister Manuel Valls, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Finance Minister Michel Sapin were among the ministers who huddled with Hollande to discuss how to proceed after the FN became France's biggest party in Europe. Provisional results showed Marine Le Pen's anti-Europe FN winning 26 per cent of Sunday's vote, a four-fold increase on its take in the last European election in 2009. --SPA 13:54 LOCAL TIME 10:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
