PARIS (Reuters) - A row heated up on Thursday in France's National Front (FN) over the euro, with leader Marine Le Pen's top aide threatening to resign if the party dropped its policy of ditching the European currency after her defeat in the presidential election.

Le Pen's heavy defeat on Sunday by centrist Emmanuel Macron has prompted soul-searching within the far-right FN with some blaming her commitment to quitting the euro zone for the outcome.
