France's National Front finds support among millennials

Young party activists say that they believe many of their friends will vote for Le Pen in next year’s presidential election, even though they say it’s taboo for sympathizers to admit it.

In Nice, Le Pen’s rhetoric on immigration resonates most.

Masson and his friends joked around in the city’s empty National Front offices after class earlier this month, erupting into laughter as activist Cyril Martinez imitated Trump saying he would build a wall to keep Mexicans out.

They all live close to Italy — which has been one of the front lines as Europe grapples with an influx from migrants from the Middle East, Africa and beyond — and want France to impose stricter controls at its borders.
