The eldest of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s three daughters, aged 64, is also the mother of Nolwenn Olivier, the ex-partner of Jordan Bardella.
Marie-Caroline Le Pen, sister of Marine, announced on Sunday June 16 on X that she was a National Rally candidate for the legislative elections in the fourth constituency of Sarthe.
The eldest of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s three daughters, aged 64, is running in the former constituency of François Fillon.
At odds with her family after having rallied in 1988, with her husband Philippe Olivier, the split from Bruno Mégret in his National Republican Movement (MNR), she was then reconciled with it and returned in 2016 to the National Front, which became the National Rally two years later.
Regional councilor of Ile-de-France, Marie-Caroline Le Pen has several times, unsuccessfully, been a candidate for the legislative elections, three times in Hauts-de-Seine – including two against Nicolas Sarkozy – and once in Yvelines .
His daughter, Nolwenn Olivier, is the ex-partner of Jordan Bardella, the president of the RN who should join Matignon in the event of his party’s victory in the legislative elections.
Across Sarthe, the RN came first in the European elections on June 9, with 35.87% of the votes, ahead of the majority list and that of the PS-Place publique. The fourth constituency of Sarthe had been a whisker away from switching to RN in the 2022 legislative elections.
