PARIS — The terror attacks in Paris earlier this month left the nation reeling and the government struggling to respond, but it has also offered a political windfall to Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front, France's far-right political party.
"This all plays in her favor," said Nonna Mayer, head of research at France's National Center for Scientific Research. "For years she has been hammering about the dangers of immigration, saying France could not welcome flows of refugees that are potential terrorists."
