French far-right leader of the Front national (FN) Marine Le Pen (R) reads notes next to the vice-president of the FN Louis Aliot in a flight taking them to the migrant-heavy Italian island of Lampedusa on March 14, 2011. Le Pen who aimed to draw attention to the immigration problem, was met on the island by some 100 people who protested, holding up placards reading: "Lampedusa is not racist!" and "Solidarity with the asylum-seekers!". Around 8,000 mainly Tunisian immigrants have landed there since Tunisia's revolution in January -- more than the total for the whole of 2010.
