Guest of “Face à BFM”, this Monday, November 18, Jordan Bardella declared that Jean-Marie Le Pen, the former president of the National Front, was “fine”.
Asked about the health of Jean-Marie Le Pen, former head of the National Front, Jordan Bardella indicated that he “is doing well” and that he has “reassuring” news.
“I will perhaps let Marine (Le Pen, Editor’s note) speak on this subject, but he is doing well and the news that Marine gave me was reassuring,” he declared on the set of BFMTV.
Jean-Marie Le Pen, 96, was hospitalized last week. Those around him had declared that he had to undergo “a series of examinations, linked to his age”.
Trial of assistants of RN MEPs
Marine Le Pen's father is being prosecuted, in the same way as the latter in the affair of European parliamentary assistants of the National FrontL. He was “disconnected” after a medical expert report noted “a profound deterioration” in his physical and psychological state, estimating that he was neither able to “be present” nor to “prepare his defense “.
“It is established that (Jean-Marie Le Pen) is not capable of giving consent to any act whatsoever,” Marine Le Pen indicated at the end of September, at the opening of the trial.
The latter, as well as her two sisters Marie-Caroline and Yann Le Pen, have been the beneficiaries of a “protection mandate” – a measure comparable to guardianship – since mid-February, which allows them to carry out various acts in the name of their father, alone or in concert.
