Jean-Marie Le Pen dies in France

The family of the historic leader of the extreme right in France, Jean-Marie Le Pen, announced his death on Tuesday, according to what Agence France-Presse reported.

Jean-Marie Le Pen was born in 1928. He is the founder of the far-right National Rally party in France. He gave up his position in 2011 to his daughter Marine Le Pen, who competed with the current French President Emmanuel Macron in the presidential elections in 2017 and 2022.

Le Pen suffered a mild heart attack on May 22, 2023, and was subsequently transferred to a hospital in the Paris region, before his condition stabilized two days later.
