The National Front is running in France’s regional elections with, probably for the last time, its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen at its head. But the 81-year-old has already ensured the changeover: his daughter Marine and granddaughter Marion are also on the campaign trail.
Jean-Marie Le Pen's political career
For years, this man has been the incarnation of Far-right politics in France: Jean-Marie Le Pen. The founder of the National Front, condemned for saying the Nazi gas chambers were "just a detail" of the Second World War, and who reached his political peak in 2002 when he came a shock second in the presidential election.

Le Pen dynasty is in the making. First his daughter Marine went into politics; now Le Pen’s grand-daughter Marion is number 2 on a National Front list in the west of Paris, for France’s coming regional elections on March 14th.
