Cleverly Out After Last Round Of Voting By MPs

Marine&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen, whose&nbsp;bid&nbsp;for the the&nbsp;French&nbsp;presidency&nbsp;was already in difficulty&nbsp;after&nbsp;a wave of&nbsp;defections, suffered a further blow&nbsp;after&nbsp;her far-right party accused her campaign spokesman of political espionage and suspended him.

In a memo sent to senior party officials, the Rassemblement National alleged Nicolas Bay, an erstwhile&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen loyalist and former secretary general of the party, had handed "strategic and confidential" campaign details to far-right&nbsp;rival&nbsp;Eric Zemmour.

"This perfectly immoral behaviour amounts to sabotage," the party wrote in the memo, which was later distributed to media. "This duplicity is unworthy of the trust placed in him by the candidate, party members and party voters."

Zemmour, a talkshow star who has made a career out of pushing the bounds of political correctness with his nationalist rhetoric, is competing with&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen for votes among the far-right and staunch conservatives.

Polls show he has eaten into the voter base of both&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen and mainstream conservative contender Valerie Pecresse.

Bay, a European Parliament lawmaker, described the allegation as preposterous. "How could I have been in possession of, and passed on, so-called 'strategic information' without being a part of the campaign&nbsp;leadership at any time," Bay said on Twitter.

He said he had been shut out from the Rassemblement National an hour&nbsp;after&nbsp;its executive committee had met on his request to discuss the "crisis" the party was facing up against Zemmour.

In recent weeks,&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen, who is making her third run for the Elysee Palace, has seen her only senator and her top European lawmaker, among others, defect to Zemmour's campaign. Her niece Marion Marechal, a popular figure among far-right supporters, has also called Zemmour the better candidate.

Zemmour is now polling neck-and-neck with Pecresse and closing the gap on&nbsp;Le&nbsp;Pen for a place in April's second-round run-off, with President Emmanuel Macron - who has yet to formally declare his candidacy - the frontrunner, voter surveys show.

After defections, Le Pen's French presidency bid hit by leaks to rival

DuckDuckGo and three other search engine rivals to Google on Thursday urged EU lawmakers to take action against the Alphabet unit via new tech rules, saying they have yet to see positive results from an antitrust ruling against Google.

The European Commission in 2018 levied a record 4.24- billion-euro ($5 billion) fine on Google for unfairly using Android to cement the dominance of its search engine and ordered it to ensure a level playing field for rivals.

Google subsequently made changes and four months ago said it would let rivals compete for free to be the default search engines on Android devices in Europe.

US&nbsp;search engine DuckDuckGo, Germany's Ecosia and French peers Qwant and Lilo said lawmakers should use tech rules drafted by EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager called the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to ensure competition.

"Despite recent changes, we do not believe it will move market share significantly due to its persisting limitations," they said in a joint letter to European Parliament lawmakers.

They said a preference menu that let users choose their search default when setting up an Android device is not available on Chrome desktop or on other operating systems, and that it is only shown once to users.

"The DMA should enshrine in law a requirement for a search engine preference menu that would effectively ban Google from acquiring default search access points of the operating systems and the browsers of gatekeepers," they said.

The DMA may come into force in 2023 once it gets the green light from EU lawmakers and EU countries.
