 Following the 1986 elections, which brought Jacques Chirac to power as Prime Minister, some hardliners inside the FN broke away to create the French and European Nationalist Party (PNFE, Parti Nationaliste Français et Européen), along with members of Mark Frederiksen's Third Position FANE.Three former members of the PNFE were charged of having desecrated, in 1990, a Jewish cemetery in Carpentras.The most important split, however, was headed by Bruno Mégret in 1999.
