MARSEILLE (Reuters) - Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the youngest member of the far right National Front's family trio of senior politicians, said on Saturday she was against the exclusion from the party of her grandfather Jean-Marie.

The declaration has the potential to heighten tensions within the party, which is reeling from a row dating back to April between Jean-Marie Le Pen, the party's founder, and Marine Le Pen, its leader and his daughter.
