Marin Le Pen: biography and photos

Not every foreign politician is known in the post-Soviet countries. However, there are exceptions. This is not so long ago, the head of the "National Front" Frenchwoman Marin Le Pen. Her biography, of course, interested, so to speak, the broad sections of the public. And how else to understand what the politician is fighting for, what to expect from him? Still it is interesting, how this person has reached enough high level of popularity, who behind it costs. Let's look at the life of Marin Le Pen (photo below) just from this angle.

Difficult childhood

Let's say at once that the insider information was not used, all only from open sources. They, by the way, a lot due to the wide popularity of Marin Le Pen. Her biography is published in different languages mainly in the European information space. Marie was born on 05/08/1968. Then the family, in which there were already two children, lived in a rather poor neighborhood of Paris (the commune of Neuilly-sur-Seine). However, the girl most likely does not remember the material problems now. Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen soon received a huge inheritance. The whole family moved to a small palace, located right there, on the outskirts of Paris. For the curious, we add that his name is Saint-Cloud. Suburbs are now considered one of the most expensive and prestigious. At first glance it seems that there is a reason to envy Marin Le Pen. Her biography, however, is not as cloudless as it should follow from the simple announcement of the place of birth.

Difficulties and challenges

The fact is that the "National Front" is almost the same age as its current leader. The founder of his father was Marin. And he created this movement, when his famous daughter now was only four years old. At that time, Le Pen's ideas did not just provoke rejection-condemnation in French society. This greatly complicated the life of his family members. Marin Le Pen in youth survived the aggression of peers, attempt and other "delights" of fame. The children were under constant guard. It is clear that they did not allow ordinary teenage liberties. Safety was in the first place. All this was complicated by serious disagreements between the parents. Political activity for Jean-Marie Le Pen was in the first place. His wife did not like this situation. In the end, they divorced. The process was accompanied by a loud scandal. The family was known throughout the country. The children stayed with their father, publicly abandoning their mother. It is clear that such tests at such a young age (sixteen years) can break a weaker nature. However, Marin Le Pen, whose biography abounds in such difficult facts, did not give up. Her temper was tempered, that damask steel.

First Party Steps

The break with his mother brought Marin closer to his father. She was interested in his unpopular national views at that time. By the age of eighteen, the girl had made the most important decision in her life. She joined the father's party. To help him in difficult activities, Marin decided to get a legal education. She chose the University of Paris II Pantheon-Assas, which graduated in 1991, receiving a Master of Laws degree. In the early years, she honed her skills in the legal field, while also taking part in election campaigns. It should be noted that Marin Le Pen (photo presented in the article) is an active, active and very energetic person. This greatly helped her in party work, promoting her views in society. Let's make a digression and highlight their main essence.

"National Front"

This movement at the time of its foundation was characterized by a racist characterization. The thing is that Father Marin saw the destructiveness of the migration policy of the then leadership of France. He believed that the state "flirted" with migrants, giving them many benefits. However, in fact, the idea of the movement was that France should take care of its indigenous people in the first place. Taxes are collected to build roads and schools, and not mosques for visitors. Now the French find these ideas more attractive. And Marin is constantly working on their improvement in accordance with the situation. It should be noted that migrants are becoming a big problem for many European countries, and France is not standing aside. Marin Le Pen consistently defends the interests of his fellow citizens, which makes him more and more popular. Radicalism becomes clearer to ordinary citizens when their wallet is affected.

First election Marin Le Pen

The leader of the right won the initial experience in the distant 1993. By the way, at that time she was only twenty-five years old. She decided to run for the National Assembly. This elected body is the lower house of parliament. The victory did not go to her, but the results of the campaign were encouraging. The fact is that at such a young age, fighting in the capital of the country, she received ten percent of the vote! The result was considered simply excellent. By the way, she took the third place. But this was only the first trial step. The political struggle in France is a rather complicated process. Especially since Marin was nominated from the then unpopular "National Front".

The party is life

Not only communists of the former USSR said so. "The National Front" Marin Le Pen considered the meaning of her life. It happened already in 1998. The woman decided to switch to party work. Initially, she began to lead the party's legal service for the acquisition of proper experience. Her career was quick and successful. By 2007, she had become a member of the Central Committee. But not only "shaggy paw", as we would say, his father helped Marin. She was making really serious progress. Yes, and now it is clear that she knows how to stay in the public, has a certain charisma, feels the mood of society. What else does politics need to gain popularity? These skills she persistently acquired and honed for years of constant practice.

First big success

In 2002, the next presidential election was held in France . From the "National Front" for the role of head of state , Father Le Pen claimed. His daughter was organizing a campaign. The result struck the French. The fact is that the extreme right movement a priori could not get a large number of votes. However, everything happened differently. Le Pen, thanks to the activity and talents of his daughter, went to the second round. It was a grand, unprecedented success. Conservative French are wary of extreme views. And here it is as much as seventeen percent! But conservatism has won. At that time, migrants had not yet presented such a serious threat to society. Therefore, the popularity of the father was considered an indicator of a well-organized campaign.

The European Parliament

Elections to this body took place in 2014. "National Front", the leadership in which by this time passed from father to daughter, took a very active part in them. Marin possesses not only the gift of persuasion. She sensitively reacts to the requests of the majority, is guided by a change in political preferences. She went to her electorate with slightly softened ideas. Now the "National Front" is difficult to blame for racism. Marin emphasizes the need for a proper allocation of the budget, based on the priorities of the indigenous people of the country. The topic familiar to every Frenchman. It finds an increasing response among the population, constantly "pinched" by a huge number of immigrants who came from Africa. "Schools instead of mosques" - a slogan that has found wide support. In addition, Marin is considered a very open and harsh politician. Her uncompromising statements about the most serious world problems only add to her supporters. Marin Le Pen, whose rating is only growing, are predicting a great future. Some already see her as France's next president.

Personal life

The biography of any politician will be incomplete, if not to mention the husband and children. In the case of Marin, the sources do not gush forth with loud news or special details on this matter. The leader of the French right, like her father, gives herself all the political struggle. There is information that Marin was twice married. Divorce crowned these attempts to build family happiness. However, she gave birth to three children, who are brought up independently. Sometimes the information slips in the press about the fact that she has a "friend". Is it worth it to trust, it is unknown.
