French political figure Jean-Marie Le Pen has criticised Madonna after a tour visual emerged of his daughter with a Swastika superimposed on her head.

Right-wing politician Marine Le Pen expressed her outrage recently after the visual appeared on Madonna's MDNA world tour, with Le Pen threatening to sue the singer.

The Hollywood Reporter quotes her father Jean-Marie as recommending that his daughter sue Madonna and her crew for the sum of $1m.

They quote him as saying that Marine should "ask Madame Madonna - and everyone who organized her international show - for $1 million."

Jean-Marie is also reported to have said Madonna is "this singer who became famous by throwing her underpants between Jacques Chirac's hands."
