Jean-Marie Le Pen is in the hospital. The former president of the National Front, which became the National Rally, had a “slight heart attack” on Saturday, we learned from his entourage, confirming information from the Point.
He “was hospitalized in a public establishment in the Paris region. His family and loved ones are worried but calm,” said his adviser Lorrain de Saint Affrique, reporting that Jean-Marie Le Pen, historical figure of the French far right, is “aware” and surrounded. His loved ones are at his bedside, including his wife Jany.
The 94-year-old former political leader has been hospitalized several times in recent years. In February 2022, Marine Le Pen’s father had to deal with a mild form of stroke.
