Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of France’s far-right political movement, has died at the age of 96. Known for his controversial views and as a Holocaust denier, Le Pen played a significant role in shaping France’s political landscape since the 1970s. His daughter, Marine Le Pen, took over the party, aiming to distance it from her father’s extremism. Despite his historical significance and controversial legacy, Le Pen’s political career saw both failures and notable moments, including a surprising second-place finish in the 2002 presidential election.
