Le Pen, Far-Right Leader, Dies at 96
Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s National Front (later National Rally), passed away at age 96. A prominent figure in French far-right politics for decades, his nationalist and anti-immigration views, often resulting in convictions for hate speech, significantly shaped the country’s populist movement. Despite being estranged from his daughter, Marine Le Pen, his legacy continues to influence French politics. His death comes as Marine faces her own legal challenges. Le Pen’s career, marked by charisma and controversy, left an enduring impact on the far-right.
