It is a part of the History of the National Front which has since become the National Rally which bowed out this Tuesday, January 7. Jean-Marie Le Pen, aged 96, died in a health establishment in the town of Garches, where he had been hospitalized for several weeks. It was his family who announced the news in a press release sent to AFP: “Jean-Marie Le Pen, surrounded by his family, was called back to God this morning at noon” we learned from those close to Jean-Marie Le Pen, of whom Marine Le Pen, his daughter, was not a member since she was on board the plane which brought her from Mayotte to Paris.
It was with tears in her eyes that Marine Le Pen reacted to the announcement of her father’s death learned by the journalists present with her on board the aircraft during a technical stopover in Nairobi, Kenya. While the journalists all turned their phones back on, they received the information asking Marine Le Pen’s advisor if he confirmed this disappearance. The latter was not aware of this, nor was Marine Le Pen. It was therefore through the press that the former president of the National Rally learned of the death of her father.
Jany, the second and last wife of Jean-Marie Le Pen, also showed herself sorry for this way of learning about Marine Le Pen. Questioned at the end of the day by BFM TV after the revelation of her husband’s death, Jany Le Pen spoke, not without emotion, in front of the news channel’s camera.

-The widow’s words are upsetting. “I feel very unwell but I’m going to try to relearn how to live without him in our house that I love and that’s it” she said. This terrible day that the Le Pen clan will not forget, Jany lived it “with family” after spending the last days at the bedside of her hospitalized husband: “It’s very hard to be in a healthcare facility for days and days.”
She also spoke about the state of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s three daughters: Yann, Marie-Caroline and Marine Le Pen, having a thought for the latter and the way in which she was made aware of her father’s disappearance: “Her daughters are doing well. The poor Marine, she learned it on the plane but everyone is fine otherwise.” There is no doubt that Jany, Yann, Marie-Caroline and Marine Le Pen will be able to show themselves united during the funeral expected this Saturday, January 11 in Morbihan.
