Jean-Marie Le Pen  

Definition

  • Born on June 20, 1928, Jean-Marie Le Pen has brought the French far right back to the political scene from where it was excluded because of its extensive collaboration with the Nazis during the Second World War. His early interest in politics led him to become one of the youngest members of the French Parliament when he was elected on the populist politician Pierre Poujade list in 1956, after having led several rightist movements when he was a student.
