France's far-right National Front chief Marine Le Pen said Sunday her father should "no longer be able to speak in the name of" the party, as a bitter public feud between the two deepens, reports Yahoo! News.
Jean-Marie Le Pen infuriated his daughter last month by reiterating his long-held view that the Nazi gas chambers were merely a "detail of history", as well as making other controversial remarks defending the "white world".
Marine condemned the comments as "political suicide" and a highly-publicised spat between them saw the 86-year-old party founder forced to pull out of upcoming regional elections.
"Jean-Marie Le Pen should no longer be able to talk in the name of the National Front, his comments are against the fixed (party) line," she told French radio.
Marine Le Pen has been actively trying to distance the party from its racist and anti-Semitic image as she plans her bid for the next French presidential election in 2017.
