Jean-Marie Le Pen’s extreme right party has put its national headquarters up for sale in hopes of alleviating its financial trouble, the French anti-immigration politician said Thursday.

Le Pen told LCI television his party was “practically without resources” after poor results in presidential and legislative elections. He said there was as yet no buyer for the building in the Paris suburb of Saint-Cloud.

“We are resigned to selling our headquarters, because we want to honor the debts of our candidates,” Le Pen said.

The National Front has canceled a series of events, such as a summer conference, to save money. Le Pen got less than 10.5 percent of the vote in the April first round presidential vote _ the party’s second-worst showing in five elections.

The party did even worse in the legislative elections that followed. Only one of the party’s candidates, Le Pen’s daughter Marine, made it into the second round of voting. There, she was defeated.

The party will nevertheless put forward candidates for local elections in March 2008, Le Pen said.

Le Pen stunned France and the world in 2002, when he made it to the presidential runoff against Jacques Chirac. French voters then gave Chirac 82 percent of the second-round vote.
