PARIS:  Embattled French presidential candidate Francois Fillon suffered another blow when a small centrist party said Wednesday it was "suspending" its backing.

The UDI is pausing its support and the party leadership will meet next week to decide whether to fully withdraw its backing for Fillon, who is to be charged over a fake jobs scandal involving family members, its chief Jean-Christophe Lagarde said.
