Jean Marie Le Pen, who headed the staunchly right-wing National Front (NF), has urged politicians to reinstate the death penalty.



France, which is still reeling from the atrocious terrorist attacks in the capital which left 130 people dead, was infamous for its killing method – the guillotine.



The instrument of choice has been used throughout its history, with the last person sentenced to death in France losing their head.

Now the 87-year-old, who was expelled from the party in 2011 after anti-semitic comments about the Holocaust, wants convicted terrorists to pay the ultimate price.



Le Pen, who publicly feuded with new the NF leader his daughter Marine Le Pen, said: “We must restore the death penalty for terrorists, with decapitation.” Sick group ISIS are infamous for posting beheading videos of their victims online.

Le Pen also called for a further 100,000 prison spaces to deter further attacks, as well as the automatic deportation of illegal immigrants.



Military service of up to six months should be compulsory, he added.

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January which left 12 people dead, Marine vowed to hold a referendum on the death penalty if she is elected into office in 2017. Marine, 47, has enjoyed increased support in recent years as she brought the party into more mainstream politics.



But it is EU policy that any state in the union must have abolished the death penalty.
