Fallece Jean-Marie Le Pen, pionero de la extrema derecha en Francia.

Jean-Marie Le Pen fundó la extrema derecha en Francia en la década de 1970 y presentó un sólido desafío a la presidencia. Sin embargo, fue únicamente cuando traspasó el mando a su hija que su partido revitalizado vislumbró la posibilidad de alcanzar el poder.

His critics denounced him as a far-right bigot and the courts convicted him several times for his radical remarks.

A Holocaust denier and an unrepentant extremist on race, gender and immigration, he devoted his political career to pushing himself and his views into the French political mainstream.
