Jean-Marie Le Pen

French politician (–)

Jean Louis Marie Le Pen (20 June – 7 January ), commonly known as Jean-Marie Le Pen (French:[ʒɑ̃maʁiləpɛn]), was a French far-right politician. He focused on issues related to immigration to France, the European Union, traditional culture and values, law and order, and France's high rate of unemployment.

His progression in the s is known as the "lepénisation of minds" due to its noticeable effect on mainstream political opinion.

He was the president of the Association des Anciens Combattants, a fisherman, and a municipal councillor of La Trinité-sur-Mer, a small seaside village in Brittany.^[1] Jean-Marie Le Pen's mother, Anne-Marie Hervé (–), was a seamstress and also of local ancestry.^[2]^[3] His mother was a speaker of the Breton language, and Le Pen would say in his old age that his only regret was not to learn the language.^[4]

Le Pen was born in La Trinité-sur-Mer on 20 June ^[5]^[6] He was orphaned as an adolescent (Ward of the Nation, brought up by the state), when his father's boat La Persévérance was blown up by a mine in ^[3]^[7]^[8] He was raised as a Roman Catholic and studied at the JesuitCollège Saint-François-Xavier&#;[fr] in Vannes,^[9] then at the Lycée Dupuy-de-Lôme&#;[fr] in Lorient.^[10]

Le Pen started his political career as the head of the student union in Toulouse.

He became president of the Association Corporative des étudiants en droit, an association of law students whose main occupation was to engage in street brawls against the cocos (communists). He was excluded from this organisation in ^[14]

After receiving his law degree, Le Pen enlisted in the Foreign Legion. He arrived in French Indochina after the battle of Dien Bien Phu,^[13] which France had lost and which prompted Prime MinisterPierre Mendès France to put an end to the Indochinese war at the Geneva Conference.

Le Pen then was sent to the Suez in , but arrived only after the cease-fire.^[13]

In , a year before the beginning of the Algerian War, he contacted President Vincent Auriol, who approved Le Pen's proposed volunteer disaster relief project after a flood in the Netherlands. Within two days, there were 40 volunteers from his university, a group that would later help victims of an earthquake in Italy.

In Paris in , he was elected to the National Assembly as a member of Pierre Poujade's populist UDCA party. Le Pen often presented himself as the youngest member of the Assembly,^[17] but a young communist, André Chène&#;[fr], 27 years old and half a year younger, was elected in the same year.^[18]^[19]^[20]

In , Le Pen became the general secretary of the National Front of Combatants&#;[fr], a veterans' organization.

The next year, following his break with Poujade, he was re-elected to the National Assembly as a member of the Centre National des Indépendants et Paysans (CNIP) party, led by Antoine Pinay.^[12]

Le Pen claimed that he had lost his left eye when he was savagely beaten during the election campaign.^[21] Testimonies suggest that he was only wounded in the right eye and did not lose it.

He lost the sight in his left eye years later, due to an illness.^[22] (Popular belief was that he wore a glass eye.^[23]) During the s, Le Pen took a close interest in the Algerian War (which lasted from to ) and the French defence budget.^{[citation needed]}

Far-right politics

He directed the presidential campaign of far-right candidate Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour, who obtained % of the votes.

Le Pen insisted on the rehabilitation of the Collaborationists, declaring that:

Was General de Gaulle braver than Marshal Pétain in the occupied zone? It is not certain. It was much easier to resist in London than to resist in France.^[13]

In , Le Pen lost his seat in the Assembly. In , he created the Société d'études et de relations publiques&#;[fr] (Serp), a company involved in the music industry that specialized in historical recordings and sold recordings of the choir of the CGT trade union and songs of the Popular Front, as well as Nazi marches.^[26]

National Front

In , Le Pen founded the Front National (FN) party.

He then ran in the presidential election, obtaining % of the vote.^[13] In , his Paris flat was dynamited (he had been living at that time in his mansion of Montretout in Saint-Cloud). The crime was never solved.^[13] Le Pen then failed to obtain the signatures from "grand electors" (grands électeurs, mayors, etc.) necessary to present himself in the presidential election, won by the candidate of the Socialist Party (PS), François Mitterrand.^[27]

Criticising immigration and taking advantage of the economic crisis striking France and the world since the oil crisis, Le Pen's party managed to increase its support in the s, starting in the municipal elections of His popularity was greatest in the south and east of France.

The FN obtained 16 seats in the European elections.^[28] A total of 35 FN deputies – including Le Pen, who was elected for Paris^[12] – entered the National Assembly after the elections (the only legislative elections held under proportional representation), which were won by the right wing, bringing Jacques Chirac to Matignon in the first cohabitation government (that is, the combination of a right-wing prime minister, Chirac, with a socialist president, Mitterrand).

In , Le Pen won a seat in the European Parliament and was consistently reelected since then. In he lost his reelection bid for the National Assembly in Bouches-du-Rhône's 8th constituency when he was defeated in the second round by SocialistMarius Masse&#;[fr].^[29] In Le Pen's invitation to London by Conservative MPs was militantly protested by large numbers coordinated by the Campaign Against Fascism in Europe (CAFE), which led to a surge of anti-fascist groups and activity across Europe.

In the presidential elections of , Le Pen obtained % of the votes in the first round of voting.^[32] This was enough to qualify him for the second round, as a result of the poor showing by the PS candidate and incumbent prime minister Lionel Jospin and the scattering of votes among 15 other candidates. This was a major political event, both nationally and internationally, as it was the first time someone with such far-right views had qualified for the second round of a French presidential election.

There was a widespread stirring of national public opinion as virtually the entire French political spectrum from the centre-right to the left united in fierce opposition to Le Pen's ideas. More than one million people in France took part in street rallies; slogans such as "A crook is better than a fascist" (Un escroc mieux qu'un facho) and "Graft rather than hate, Chirac rather than Le Pen" (L'arnaque plutôt que la haine, Chirac plutôt que Le Pen) were heard in opposition to Le Pen.^[33] Le Pen was then defeated by a large margin in the second round, when incumbent president Jacques Chirac obtained 82% of the votes, thus securing the biggest majority in the history of the Fifth Republic.^[34]

In the regional elections, Le Pen intended to run for office in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region but was prevented from doing so because he did not meet the conditions for being a voter in that region: he neither lived there nor was registered as a taxpayer there.

However, he was planned to be the FN's top candidate in the region for the regional elections.^[35]

Ireland finally refused to ratify the treaty.

There weren't 6 million Le Pen was first elected to the French parliament in in a party led by militant right-wing shopkeepers' leader Pierre Poujade.

Ireland was the only EU country that held a citizen referendum. All other EU states, including France, ratified the treaty by parliamentary vote, despite a previous citizen referendum where over 55% of French voters rejected the European Reform Treaty (although that vote was on a different draft of the Treaty in the form of the Constitutional Treaty).

After the Irish "No" vote, Le Pen addressed the French President Nicolas Sarkozy in the European Parliament, accusing him of furthering the agenda of a "cabal of international finance and free market fanatics". Ireland later accepted the treaty in a second Lisbon referendum.^[38]

After Le Pen left office in January , his daughter Marine Le Pen was elected by the adherents of the party over Bruno Gollnisch.

He became honorary chairman of the party^[39] and won his seat again at the European elections in

Le Point.

I haven't particularly studied the question. But I believe it's just a detail in the history of World War II."^[41] In , he stated that "If you take a 1,page book on World War II, the concentration camps take up only two pages and the gas chambers 10 to 15 lines. This is what one calls a detail," and he made similar statements before the European Parliament in and ^[41]

Le Pen dismissed the hearing as a 'mockery' and an 'ambush' and accused Ms.

Le Pen of pulling the strings from afar. 'It's dirty to kill your own daddy, so she didn't kill daddy directly, she did it through her henchman,' Mr. Le Pen told French radio at the time. The elder Le Pen was a persistent problem for his daughter as she tried to smooth over the overt racism and xenophobia of the party's past. The final straw came in April when he rehashed familiar comments about the gas chambers and said France should get along with Russia to save the 'white world'.

Ms. Le Pen then openly split with her father, saying he was committing 'political suicide'. But he vowed to 'reconquer' the party he founded in ^[42]^[43]

A French court decided in June to cancel his suspension; although the members of the party were to hold a vote to accept or reject a whole series of measures aiming at changing the National Front's status, including Le Pen's honorary presidency.

On 10 July another French court ruled to suspend the vote two days beforehand and urged the party to organize an in-person Congress, as Le Pen sued the National Front again. The party decided to appeal against both of these decisions.^[44] The FN then decided, on 29 July, to count the votes on the suppression of Le Pen's Honorary Presidency, which showed that 94% of the members were in favour of this decision.^[45]^[46] However, due to the legal challenges to the FN's removal of Le Pen as its honorary president, he continued to officially hold the position.^[47]

In August , Le Pen was expelled from the National Front after a special party congress.^[48] He later founded the Comités Jeanne.^[49]^[50]

He told supporters in the city: 'You will not be orphans. We can act in a similar way to the FN, even if we are not part of it.'^[52]

He confirmed he would support his granddaughter Marion Maréchal-Le Pen for the next regional elections and that he wanted to influence the National Front's ideology with his association.

He also praised Marine Le Pen's speech in Marseille on 6 September , describing it as "lepéniste".^[53]

Personal life, wealth, and security

Le Pen's marriage to Pierrette Le Pen from 29 June to 18 March produced three daughters, who gave him eight grandchildren. The break-up of the marriage was somewhat dramatic, with his ex-wife posing nude, to ridicule him, in the French edition of Playboy.^[55]^[56]^[13]Marie-Caroline, one of his daughters, broke with Le Pen, following her husband to join Bruno Mégret, who split from the FN to found the rival Mouvement National Républicain (MNR, National Republican Movement).^[13] The youngest of Le Pen's daughters, Marine Le Pen, is leader of the National Rally.

In the early s, Le Pen's personal security was assured by KO International Company, a subsidiary of VHP Security, a private security firm, and an alleged front organisation for SAC, the Service d'Action Civique (Civic Action Service), a Gaullist organisation.

SAC allegedly employed figures with organized crime backgrounds and from the far-right movement.^[60]^[61]

President Emmanuel Macron said that history would decide the legacy of Le Pen, while prime minister François Bayrou said "We knew, by fighting him, what a fighter he was".^[74] Left-winger Jean-Luc Mélenchon said that respect for the dead and the bereaved could not excuse "the hatred, racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism that he spread".^[74] In Belgium, Vlaams Belang leader Tom Van Grieken praised a "founding father" of European nationalism.^[74]

Crowds estimated in the hundreds, in several French cities, celebrated in the street to mark the death of Le Pen.

These parties were condemned by French government ministers including Bruno Retailleau and Sébastien Lecornu.^[75]^[76]

Issues and policy positions

Death penalty

Le Pen supported bringing back the death penalty in France.^[77]^[78]

Controversial statements

Le Pen was accused and convicted several times^[79] in France and abroad of xenophobia and antisemitism.

A Paris court found in February that his verbal criticisms, such as remarks disparaging Muslims in a Le Monde interview, were "inciting racial hatred",^[79] and he was fined €10, and ordered to pay an additional €5, in damages to the Ligue des droits de l'homme (League for Human Rights).

The conviction and fines were upheld by the Court of Cassation in ^[80]

In May , he advocated the forced isolation from society of all people infected with HIV, by placing them in a special "sidatorium". "Sidaïque"^[81] is Le Pen's pejorative solecism for "person infected with AIDS" (the more usual French term is "séropositif" (seropositive))^[82] The term "sidatorium" was coined by François Bachelot.^[83]
On 21 June , he attacked singer Patrick Bruel, who is of Algerian Jewish descent, on his policy of no longer singing in the city of Toulon because the city had just elected a mayor from the National Front.

Le Pen said, "the city of Toulon will then have to get along without the vocalisations of singer Benguigui". Benguigui, an Algerian name, is Bruel's birth name.
In August , he declared "believing in the inequality of races" saying "they don't have the same capacities or same level of historic evolution"^[84]
In February , Le Pen accused Chirac of being "on the payroll of Jewish organizations, and particularly of the B'nai B'rith"^[85]^[86]
Le Pen once made the infamous pun "Durafour-crématoire" ("four crématoire" meaning "crematory oven") about then-minister Michel Durafour, who had said in public a few days before, "One must exterminate the National Front".^[87]
On many occasions, before and after the FIFA World Cup, he claimed that the French World Cup squad contained too many non-white players, and was not an accurate reflection of French society.

He went on to scold players for not singing La Marseillaise, saying they were not "French".^[88]^[89]
In the election campaign, he referred to fellow candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, who is of partial Greek Jewish and Hungarian descent, as "foreign" or "the foreigner".^[90]
In a video on the National Front's website, Le Pen reacted to criticism of him by Jewish singer Patrick Bruel with "next time we'll do a whole oven batch!" Le Pen later claimed the comments he made had no anti-Semitic connotations "except for my political enemies or imbeciles".^[91]^[92]

Arguing that his party includes people of various ethnic or religious origins like Jean-Pierre Cohen, Farid Smahi or Huguette Fatna, he attributed some anti-Semitism in France to the effects of Muslim immigration to Europe, and suggested that some part of the Jewish community in France might eventually come to appreciate National Front ideology.^[93]^[94] Le Pen denied man-made climate change and linked climate science with communism.^[95]

He also infamously compared gay people to soup with salt, saying "it's like salt with soup: if there is not enough, it's too bland, and if it's too much, it's undrinkable", and compared pedophilia with "the exaltation of homosexuality".^[96]^[97]

Prosecution concerning Holocaust denial

Le Pen made several provocative statements concerning the Holocaust, which were legally ruled to be Holocaust denial.

He was convicted of racism or inciting racial hatred at least six times.^[79] For example, on 13 September , he said, "I ask myself several questions. I'm not saying the gas chambers didn't exist. I haven't seen them myself. I haven't particularly studied the question. But I believe it's just a detail in the history of World War II." For Le Pen, the French deportation of 76, Jews from France to Nazi concentration camps, where they were killed, is a trivial matter, and he denies that 6 million Jews were killed, saying "I don't think there were that many deaths.

There weren't 6&#;million There weren't mass murders as it's been said."^[98] He was eventually condemned under the Gayssot Act to pay &#;million francs (€,).^[99]

In , the European Parliament, of which Le Pen was then a member, removed his parliamentary immunity so that Le Pen could be tried by a German court for comments he made at a December press conference before the German Republikaner party.

Echoing his remarks in France, Le Pen stated: "If you take a 1,page book on World War II, the concentration camps take up only two pages and the gas chambers 10 to 15 lines.

Tabarly jean marie le pen biography But he vowed to 'reconquer' the party he founded in The Irish Times. Le Pen's marriage to Pierrette Le Pen from 29 June to 18 March produced three daughters, who gave him eight grandchildren. Ireland later accepted the treaty in a second Lisbon referendum.

This is what one calls a detail." In June , a Munich court found this statement to be "minimizing the Holocaust, which caused the deaths of six million Jews," and convicted and fined Le Pen for his remarks.^[] Le Pen retorted sarcastically: "I understand now that it's the Second World War which is a detail of the history of the gas chambers."^[]

Public image

Public perception

Le Pen was often nicknamed the "Menhir", due to his "granitic nature" as he was perceived as someone who did not give way to pressure or who could not be easily knocked down.

It also connected him to France's Celtic origins.^[] Le Pen was often described as one of the most flamboyant and charismatic orators in Europe, whose speech blended folksy humour, crude attacks and rhetorical finesse.^[]^[]^[]^[]

Le Pen was a polarizing figure in France: opinions regarding him tend to be quite strong.

A Ipsos poll showed that while 22% of the electorate had a good or very good opinion of Le Pen, and 13% an unfavorable opinion, 61% had a very unfavorable opinion.^[] Critics called him "The Devil of the Republic".^[]

Le Pen and the National Front were described by much of the media and nearly all commentators as extreme far right.

Le Pen himself and the rest of his party disagreed with this label; earlier in his political career, Le Pen described his position as "neither right, nor left, but French" (ni droite, ni gauche, français).^[] He later described his position as right-wing and opposed to the "socialo-communists" and other right-wing parties, which he deemed are not real right-wing parties.

At other times, for example during the election campaign, he declared himself "socially left-wing, economically right-wing, nationally French" (socialement à gauche, économiquement à droite, nationalement français).^[] He further contended that most of the French political and media class are corrupt and out of touch with the real needs of the common people, and that they conspired to exclude Le Pen and his party from mainstream politics.

Le Pen criticized the other political parties as the "establishment" and lumped all major parties (Communist, Socialist, Union for French Democracy (UDF) and Rally for the Republic (RPR)) into the "Gang of Four" (la bande des quatre&#;– an allusion to the Gang of Four during China's Cultural Revolution).^[]

Relations with other groups

Some of Le Pen's statements led other far-right groups, such as the Austrian Freedom Party,^[] and some National Front supporters, to distance themselves from him.

Controversial Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders, who has often been accused of being far-right, also criticized Le Pen, stating "we'll never join up with the fascists and Mussolinis of Italy".^[]Bruno Mégret left the National Front to found his own party (the National Republican Movement, MNR), claiming that Le Pen kept the Front away from the possibility of gaining power.

Mégret wanted to emulate Gianfranco Fini's success in Italy by making it possible for right-wing parties to ally themselves with the Front, but claimed that Le Pen's attitude and outrageous speech prevented this.

Le Pen's daughter Marine leads an internal movement of the Front that wants to "normalize" the National Front, "de-enclave" it, have a "culture of government" etc.; however, relations with Le Pen and other supporters of the hard line are complex.^[] Le Pen's National Front electoral successes along with the party gaining wider public prominence led to suggestions for the renewal of the pan-European alliance of extreme-right parties with Le Pen as its figurehead,^[] a suggestion that eventually did indeed bring about the establishment of the Europe of Nations and Freedom group in the European Parliament, chaired by Le Pen's daughter Marine.

On 22 March , Le Pen joined the Alliance for Peace and Freedom.^[] In October , he endorsed Éric Zemmour for the French presidential election over his daughter Marine.^[]
