Jean-Marie Le Pen, a domineering and polarizing figure in French politics and founder of the National Rally party, died at age 96.
National Rally President Jordan Bardella announced his death on Tuesday in a post on X.
“Jean-Marie Le Pen is dead. Enlisted in the uniform of the French army in Indochina and Algeria, tribune of the people in the National Assembly and the European Parliament, he always served France, defended its identity and its sovereignty. Today, I am thinking with sadness of his family, his loved ones, and of course of Marine, whose mourning must be respected,” he said, referring to Le Pen’s daughter, Marine Le Pen.
