Jean-Marie Le Pen has been hospitalized in the Paris region since Saturday afternoon, according to our information, after an illness that occurred at his home in Rueil-Malmaison, in the Hauts-de-Seine. "Great fatigue, perhaps of a cardiac nature, justified immediate hospitalization on the part of his doctors", reports a friend of the founder of the National Front, confirming other sources. The 94-year-old man's state of health, considered serious by the medical profession, convinced his relatives, including his wife Jany, to come to his bedside.
Apart from his regular health checks, the "menhir" was last hospitalized in February 2022 after he suffered a transient ischemic attack, a "mild form of stroke". Before this malaise that occurred on April 15, the nationalist leader did not give any particular sign of weakness. He was still receiving journalists to give interviews at his home last week.
Five-time presidential candidate, without political responsibility since the end of his European mandate in 2019, he remains a regular commentator on political life, if not still a real actor since his exclusion in 2015 from the National Front, which has become National rally.
