Jean-Marie Le Pen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Le Pen was born at La Trinité-sur-Mer, a small Breton harbour, as the son of a fisherman. Le Pen's success in the first round of the 2002 French presidential election - he finished second, but ultimately lost by a wide margin in the second round against incumbent president Jacques Chirac - is generally explained by the impatience of the French electorate with respect to the reduction of crime. Le Pen's daughter Marine leads an internal movement of the Front that wants to "normalize" the National Front, "de-enclave" it, have a "culture of government" etc.; however, she is now out of favor with Le Pen. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen   (2579 words)

Talk:Jean-Marie Le Pen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Le Pen has a constituency--possibly as much as 16%, and one of his principle arguments is that democracy in France suffers when this constituency is ridiculed, marginalized, or simply ignored by the press and the "acceptable" political culture of the government. Le Pen is a controversial figure in France because he has not allowed himself, nor his patriotism, to be silenced by a media beholden to a multi-racial, anti-European dream. Le Pen wants to return the society to a previous state on many respects (immigration, death penalty, defence, etc.). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Jean-Marie_Le_Pen   (3628 words)

Backgrounder: Jean-Marie Le Pen and the National Front Le Pen has repeatedly made statements that attempt to diminish or deny the Holocaust, once remarking that the Nazi gas chambers were "a mere detail" in history. Le Pen responded to critics using a refrain common to Holocaust deniers and revisionists, saying he would no longer answer questions on the topic because, "It's a taboo subject which is protected by legal and criminal law and the only opinion you can express on it is that allowed by the media. Le Pen, who cast himself as an alternative to the political status quo in France, unexpectedly garnered more than 17 percent of the vote, placing him second behind President Chirac and qualifying him for the runoff election on May 5, 2002. www.adl.org /international/le-pen_new.asp   (814 words)

The Unexpected Challenger (or, Our Dan Rather Interviews Jean-Marie Le Pen!) Le Pen, rightly or wrongly, your reputation in the United States is as a person who represents a building neo-fascism in Europe, and I want to make sure that I give you an opportunity to address that frankly and directly. LE PEN: No. It is absolutely untrue, the National Front, the political party of which I am the leader, does not have anything in its program which could be considered as fascist. LE PEN: Oh no...I have a lot of friends in the U.S and I consider myself a friend of the U.S., but as a friend, I am very frank and I tell my friends very direct things. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/677682/posts   (1231 words)

The Edge of England's Sword Within hours of Le Pen's election, I was asked to go on air by Newsnight, who were plainly trying to establish a connection in their viewers' minds between Le Pen and the Conservative Party. You might disapprove of what Le Pen says on immigration, but to declare that the subject cannot even be raised is profoundly unhealthy for a democracy. Le Pen is not an aberration but the logical consequence. englandssword.blogspot.com /2002_04_21_englandssword_archive.html   (4632 words)

Freezerbox Magazine - The Mysterious Rise of Jean-Marie Le Pen In France, the system was simply unable to deal with the fact that 16.95% of the population -- rising to 25% in some departments -- voted for the Front National and Jean-Marie Le Pen in the first round of the Presidential elections. Le Pen laughs off the comparison with the 1930s and its movements, and nasty though his own movement certainly is, in this his laughter is justified. Le Pen's headquarters on election night showed that there is still one born every minute. www.freezerbox.com /archive/article.php?id=201   (1396 words)

THE MEANING OF LE PEN Le Pen is not merely "suspicious" of that monstrosity in Brussels, he is unalterably opposed to it and has vowed to take France out of the EU altogether. Le Pen's nationalism  is bound to conflict with their vision of a world in which the only sovereignty that matters is American. Le Pen is merely saying that France should maintain its distinctive cultural-political identity, and that the immigrant floodtide threatens values worth preserving. www.antiwar.com /justin/j042402.html   (2420 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports Le Pen: populist who rose from ashes The Socialists are particularly bitter about Mr Le Pen's success, as it was François Mitterrand, president from 1981 to 1995, who opened the way for the Front's political successes by introducing proportional representation for parliamentary elections in 1986, albeit as a ploy to check Gaullist ambitions. Mr Le Pen's future was in doubt only three years ago when his deputy, Mr Mégret, was expelled from the party for challenging its chairman. Mr Le Pen first came to public notice as the youngest French MP in the Poujadist landslide of 1956. www.guardian.co.uk /farright/story/0,11981,711446,00.html   (681 words)

Jean-Marie Le Pen: A Right-Wing Extremist and His Party: Introduction With a vote share of between 15 and 20 percent, Jean-Marie Le Pen’s Front National (FN) has become a central element in French political life. The issues involved became unmistakably clear on the Easter weekend this year in the city of Strasbourg: this site of French-German reconciliation and seat of the European Parliament was where extreme right-wing and anti-Semitic Jean-Marie Le Pen held his Front National (FN) party’s national congress. Catherine Mégret, who stood in for her husband, Bruno, the number two leader of the FN and often described as the party’s brain, repeated a Le Pen statement that "there are differences between the races. www.adl.org /international/LePen-1-introduction.asp   (404 words)

afrol News - "Le Pen torturer in Algerian war" Le Pen and ex-OAS terrorists - which all were granted an amnesty for their war crimes in the 1960s - now are front figures in denying the French war crimes in Algeria, calling it a "slandering of the French army." Le Pen served in the Franco-Algerian war as a lieutenant in the paratrooper regiment, also in charge of intelligence. While Le Pen admitted to torturing forty years ago, he now denies the charges and is to sue the daily newspaper 'Le Monde', which quoted the veterans. www.afrol.com /News2002/alg003_lepen_torture.htm   (516 words)

Le Pen, Jean-Marie Le Pen's 1988 and 1995 presidential bids attracted similar support on the first ballot, concentrated particularly amongst the unemployed, small-business owners, and young white males, and in the 2002 presidential election he finished second, with 18%. The FN, under Le Pen, won 14% of the national vote in the 1986 National Assembly elections and 15% in 1997. He was elected to the European Parliament as head of the FN list in 1984, 1989, and 1994, but in early 1998 he was debarred from voting or holding elective office for two years (later reduced to one), following his conviction for assaulting a socialist woman candidate during the 1997 election campaign. www.tiscali.co.uk /reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0018958.html   (216 words)

Martin Sieff on Jean-Marie Le Pen & France on National Review Online Le Pen's 19 percent showing in the working-class stronghold of Lille was proof of that. The April 21 First Round vote already showed Le Pen's unexpected ability — but one he shared with such crowd pleasers as Hitler and Mussolini — to pull in support from working class constituencies convinced that he understands their concerns far better than the Nattering Nabobs of the Left who claim to speak for them. But Le Pen's core vote will be even higher next time as another 2.34 percent voted for a rival extreme-right splinter candidate Bruno Megret, Le Pen's former top lieutenant who bolted his former leader's National Front a few years ago. www.nationalreview.com /comment/comment-sieff042902.asp   (2158 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports 'The veil? It protects us from ugly women' The painter dedicated his work, "To Jean-Marie Le Pen, who is loyal to France." Loyalty to the homeland is a supreme virtue in Le Pen's book. Moreover, say the analysts, Le Pen is killing two birds with one stone: He believes the Muslim immigrants are "a grave phenomenon", perhaps the biggest problem facing France at the start of the 21st century. Le Pen, who claimed that his reputation had been damaged, sued both newspapers for slander and lost (though Le Canard Enchaine eventually lost in the appeals court). www.guardian.co.uk /france/story/0,11882,690114,00.html   (2357 words)

The Resistible Rise of Jean-Marie Le Pen Le Pen, the least disreputable of the lot, was chosen to be their leader, but their electoral strength was still measured in fractions of a percentage point. Le Pen, an unscrupulous but efficient demagogue, was for a while Poujade's lieutenant, and in the Parliament he expressed his distaste for racial impurity with this oft-quoted apostrophe to Prime Minister Pierre Mendès-France, a Jew: "You crystallize in your person a certain number of patriotic and almost physical repulsions." Le Pen had argued not that the facts were wrong but that his honor had been impugned. www.thenation.com /doc/19850907/singer   (1460 words)

JACQUES CHIRAC CRUSHED JEAN MARIE LE PEN IN LANDSLIDE VICTORY Le Pen in the first round was a "vote of protest and disdain" towards traditional politicians and parties, particularly with the two main contenders, Chirac and Jospin presenting similar programs. Admitting his defeat, Mr Le Pen accused the left and right to have "plotted" against him and calling it a defeat for "the hopes of the French" and a victory for Socialist and Communist forces. Some observers have suggested that Mr Le Pen's success could cause the left to bounce back for the June vote - which Socialists are referring to as the "third round" of the presidential election - resulting in another period of cohabitation. www.iran-press-service.com /articles_2002/May_2002/chirac_president_5502.htm   (656 words)

The Observer Special reports The day Jean-Marie Le Pen opened a Pandora's box of bigotry Le Pen says he has proof of the meeting, and coined the 'Superliar' tag in response to Chirac's denial. Twenty years ago, when he had failed to qualify for the 1981 presidential election, Le Pen sat back on a white sofa at his mansion outside Paris with a glass of Chivas Regal in his hand, and told me he would be back one day. With his 17 per cent under his belt, it will be Le Pen's supporters, not immigrant demonstrators, who will be marching in Paris on Wednesday in their annual parade in honour of Joan of Arc. observer.guardian.co.uk /europe/story/0,11363,706519,00.html   (2041 words)
