She
is the granddaughter of the founder of anti-immigrant and anti-EU party, Marion
Maréchal-Le Pen, who turns 84 this weekend. She is just 22 years of age and a
law undergraduate whose eloquence and ready smile caught the attention of the
media during her support and campaign for her aunt (Marine Le Pen) who was a
presidential candidate in the just concluded election won by the Socialist
Francois Hollande.
Marion
Le Pen, in her address after the election stated that:
With the grandfather |
“I
am happy to be the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be
spearheaded new hope in the shape of the National Front,”.
According
to the grandfather, “I persuaded her to stand as candidate for Carpentras to
restore the National Front’s image after it was accused of being indirectly
behind the vandalization of the town’s Jewish cemetery”. Politics can be as genetic as art or music
said Jean Marie Le Pen of his granddaughter. It’s the proof of a good race.
Marion
Marechal-Le Pen, a political novice, won with 42.2 percent of the votes against
a Union for a Popular Movement candidate. She
represents the third generation of the Le Pen family in politics.
