settled question on option 'No'.
Madonna performs at the Charles Ehrmann stadium in Nice, southeastern France, on August 21, as part of her MDNA world tour. Madonna dropped from her last concert in Europe a swastika that outraged France's right-wing party but again demanded the freedom of jailed Russian girl punk band Pussy Riot.

Background


A spokesman for Marine Le Pen, president of France's far-right Front National who came third in the May presidential elections, said a lawsuit for "public insult" would be lodged with the Paris courts in the next few days.

At a concert in the French capital on Saturday evening, Madonna showed a video in which Le Pen's face appears with other well-known figures including Pope Benedict, Chinese leader Hu Jintao and US Republican Sarah Palin. In the clip, shown on a giant screen to accompany the song Nobody Knows Me, Le Pen, 43, appears with the Nazi symbol overlaid on her face, just before an image resembling Adolf Hitler.

Le Pen, who has tried to clean up the FN's Nazi-sympathising image since taking over from her father Jean-Marie 18 months ago, had already warned that she would take Madonna, 53, to court if she aired the video in France.

The Paris concert, which was not sold out, is one of two French dates by Madonna this summer. She is due to perform in Nice on 21 August.

“I know that I made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me. And it’s not my intention to make enemies,” Madonna told the crowd before adding: “It’s my intention to promote tolerance. And when we start saying that we have to get rid of this person or we have to get rid of that person, because then we’ll have a better place, it starts to sound like something else, it starts to sound like something scary. So the next time you want to point the finger at somebody and blame them for a problem in your life, take that finger and point it back at you.”

The singer will next perform in France on Aug. 21, in Nice.
