FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Her aunt is riding the crest of what she calls the “Marine Blue”
wave: the Front National president’s anti-Europe, anti-immigration and
patriotic France-first manifesto saw her elevated to third place in last
month’s presidential election with nearly 18 per cent of the vote in the
first round.
Billing herself as “the voice of the people, the spirit of France”,
Marine Le Pen hopes her party will profit from disarray among the mainstream
Right and become the main opposition to the new government of François
Hollande, the Socialist president.
Since Nicolas Sarkozy’s defeat last month, his own UMP party has descended
into damaging internecine squabbling as party grandees jostle to lead the
party and run for president in 2017.
France’s complex election system is unlikely to give the Front National more
than 10 seats in parliament, according to the opinion polls, but Marine Le
Pen hopes to amass enough votes to give her unprecedented bargaining power
as “arbiter” between the traditional parties of the Left and
Right.
Not that long ago, pundits were predicting the Front National, originally
constructed around the personality cult of Jean-Marie Le Pen, would vanish
when its figurehead became too old. Instead, his daughter Marine emerged to
bring about its renaissance, or as she prefers to call it, its “de-demonisation”.
The even younger figure of Marion Le Pen is a powerful symbol of that
transformation and of the continuation of the party.
But she rejects suggestions that family and party members are pulling her
strings to gain publicity and political capital. “They are proud of me,
but they didn’t push me,” she says.
Marion Le Pen also insists that she was not brought up ready-formatted as a
Front National (FN) politician.
“Contrary to what everyone thinks, in my family we didn’t talk about
politics at home and we’re free to make our own choices,” she
says.
“I became interested in politics around 15 or 16 and in various
approaches, not necessarily FN.”
As a teenager, she once went to a meeting addressed by Mr Sarkozy “out of
curiosity” because he “intrigued” her. “I very quickly
came down to earth,” she adds.
After campaigning for the Front National, she became a card-carrying member at
18, and a regional election candidate shortly afterwards. Now she has her
sights on parliament.
On Friday, she was juggling. She had just sat an English exam at the Paris
university where she is in the fourth year of a master’s degree in public
law and was dashing into a radio interview.
She was furious that a television crew has gatecrashed the interview, but she
did not show it during the broadcast. To the thorny question of why she was
standing in Carpentras, a town in which critics say she had never set foot
before, she said she was there to avenge her grandfather’s name.
In 1990, Front National supporters were accused of desecrating a Jewish
cemetery in Carpentras, which Mr Le Pen always denied.
“It is symbolic to come back to this constituency where he was unfairly
accused,” she told listeners. “I didn’t suffer at the time, but I
suffered the consequences of my grandfather’s name being abjectly and
unfairly sullied and demonised.”
Marine Le Pen won almost 29 per cent of the votes in Carpentras, only just
behind Mr Sarkozy, in the presidential election, putting her niece in a
potentially strong position now that the UMP party has fractured.
Marion is the daughter of Yann Le Pen, 47, the second of Mr Le Pen’s three
daughters. Marine, 42, is the youngest.
Yann was considered the rebel of the family, running away one month before her
baccalaureate exam to work in a Club Med resort, until her older sister
Marie-Caroline, 51, was banished after supporting one of her father’s
political rivals.
All three Le Pen daughters were bullied at school with taunts that “papa”
was a “fascist”. In 1976, a bomb exploded outside the family’s
Paris apartment as they slept, ripping a hole in the wall.
Eleven years later, their mother Pierrette walked out, publicly criticised Mr
Le Pen and posed half-naked for Playboy magazine.
In a letter to the judge deciding on custody, Marine Le Pen she said she
wished to stay with her father. Later she wrote in her memoirs: “One is
born Le Pen’s daughter, one dies Le Pen’s daughter. He is the man of my
life. He has made me the woman I am.”
Both Marine and Yann Le Pen are now themselves divorced from Front National
party officials, and live on the mansion house estate at St Cloud on the
outskirts of Paris that Mr Le Pen inherited from a wealthy friend.
Pierrette, now readmitted to the fold, lives in a small cottage in the
grounds. Jean-Marie Le Pen, who is approaching his 84th birthday, lives
nearby with his second wife, Jany.
Now this closeness has extended from the personal domain into the political
sphere.
On Friday evening, Marion was in the front row at her aunt’s main campaign
rally as she called for voters to make the Front National “the real
opposition” in France.
On Sunday, she will attend another meeting in Provence with her elderly
grandfather: holding out the hope to party supporters that another
generation of the Front National is secure.
