Jean-Marie Le Pen, French far-right leader, dies aged 96
Summary
Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s far-right National Rally (formerly National Front), has died.
A former paratrooper, he led the party from 1972 to 2011 and was known for inflammatory rhetoric, including Holocaust denial and praise for the Nazi-collaborating Vichy regime, which led to multiple convictions.
He ran for president five times, shocking France in 2002 by advancing to the runoff against Jacques Chirac.
A divisive figure, he was expelled from the party by his daughter, Marine Le Pen, in 2015 as she sought to moderate its image.

Rest in Piss you fucking Fascist
Depressing how so many despicable people get to live to such high ages.
It's kinda amazing the type of life you can have when you can afford the best healthcare.
Pure fucking spite and vinegar.
I don't know how much comfort this will bring, but rest assured that hate-filled bigoted assholes generally don't live long. The constant stress of seething about everyone and everything around them makes guys like Le Pen the exception, not the rule.
The only reason this particular human sphincter lived a long time is because he had access to high-quality medical care.
New gender neutral bathroom just dropped
Looking forward to a long coffee piss on his grave.
Hell gained another demon today
Babe where he comes from: he's going home.
Rest in piss, fucker.
Shit... 96? Why do they last so long!
Only the good die young.
Also France has kickass health care.
He probably would want to privatize it
REPOSE EN PISSE 🥳🎉🍾
hopefully his daughter follows soon 🤞
And her nephew (Bardella)
I celebrate the passing of fascists,
German Fascists, Russian Fascists, American Fascists, French Fascists. you are all the same.
Au revoir, Shoshanna. Rest in piss. Traitor
shame he got to live that long
J'irai pisser sur ta tombe, connard.
Je voyagerai en France pour le faire aussi. Ça deviendra une destination touristique pour pisse !
Hahha, ça tente de faire un tour mondial, Thatcher, Le Pen, Reagan etc. bien pisser sur les tombes de fachos.
I know he’ll be looking up at us right now.
And, just like that, 2025 is already up for a very good start
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they (FN / RN) will leverage on his death to gain voters.
De mortuis nihil nisi bene.
But I'll make an exception here. Fuck this fucking asshole.
Rot in piss
Good riddance.
Someday soon it'll be drumpf, and it'll become a national holiday.
I hope he's buried next to a black family. Also, congratulations, France, you just got a new public toilet!
New public toilet
I’ll never wish death on a person. That’s a line I can’t cross and still think of myself as a good person. That said, I have no problem celebrating a terrible person’s death.
"I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
Many of those terrible people don't give you the same courtesy though...
Good age. Bad guy. RIP.
When's the new urinal unveiling?
Why do these bastards keep dying of old age instead of exploding haemorrhoids as they should..?
Finally.
Good shit, hopefully his daughter doesn't last quite as long.
good riddance...
Yeah we were all shocked to find out the huge percentage of overt racists among these colonizers. \s
What is France colonizing these days?
Your mom, sister, and daughter most likely... /s
Also, these places:
You forgot Kanaky which is maybe the most awful right now (speaking of colonialism). A surprising thing is that some of those overseas are part of France for longer than Nice and Savoy
RIP BOZO
Progress, one funeral at a time.
Daaaaaammn. Gruaniad, you bitch! lol
The face of a man trying to contain his hate.
Il est enterré où?
