This January 7, Jean-Marie Le Pen died at 96 in Garches in the Paris region. The funeral of the founder of the National Front will take place this January 11 in his hometown in La Trinité-sur-Mer (Morbihan). Then, he will be buried in the family vault where his parents rest. Following the death of Marine’s father, Yann and Marie-Caroline, several demonstrations of “joy” were improvised in several cities. Guest of “C à vous” on France 5, Édouard Philippe was questioned about these gatherings. Thus, the mayor of Le Havre and former Prime Minister announced that he did not approve of the fact of “dance on someone’s grave”. It was then that presenter Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine intervened.
Thus, the 54-year-old journalist wanted to recall that the president of Horizons had not never met the deceased. On the other hand, he had dinner with his daughter Marine. It was in December 2023. A meeting which aroused the indignation of the political class and, in particular, of François Bayrou. For the current Prime Minister, this meal “was a bad signal”. “Was he wrong?” Arthur and Vasco’s mother then asked.
“It’s his opinion, he has the right to think what he thinks (…). Moi I have the right to do what I want!” retorted the former deputy for Seine-Maritime. Patrick Cohen then intervened in the conversation. The chronicler recalled that“the secret aspect of the meeting was enough”intrigue“. The 2027 presidential candidate then got annoyed. “Sorry, I don’t publish the list of people I have dinner with every day, no, but stop! Is there a list of people I’m not allowed to have dinner with? You are incredible!”he said before tempers calmed down.
