Security guards were forced to eject a topless protester after she disrupted a press conference held by French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen.
The woman, from the radical feminist organisation Femen, jumped up from her seat as the far-right politician spoke to reporters and began shouting: 'Marine, fake feminist'
.
Bodyguards were quick to remove the protester, who was naked from the waist up, and it took three of them to carry her out of the room.
National Front leader Le Pen held the press conference in Paris on Thursday Feb 23,2017 to discuss her foreign policy.
Following the incident, Femen took to its Facebook page to criticise the politician.
The organisation said: 'Nothing in the programme of Marine Le pen promotes the empowerment of women, no proposal was raised to further equality between the sexes.
'Le pen is a fictitious Republican, she's neither feminist, nor secular, nor for the defence of human rights... yet she is a candidate for the presidential election!'
Femen, which was founded in Ukraine but is now based in Paris, has protested against Le Pen in the past.
