MADRID, 15 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The founder and historical leader of the far-right French party Jean-Marie Le Pen, 94 years old, has been hospitalized in the Paris region with a serious prognosis.
The newspapers ‘Le Figaro’ and ‘Le Point’ have reported that Le Pen was hospitalized on Saturday afternoon after suffering an ailment while he was at his Rueil-Malmaison, in the Hauts-de-Seine.
“Great fatigue, perhaps of a cardiac nature, justifies his immediate hospitalization by decision of his doctors,” explained a friend of Le Pen quoted by ‘Le Point’.
Le Pen was last hospitalized in February 2022 after a transient ischemic attack, a mild form of stroke. Once the historic far-right leader was overcome, he did not show any concrete sign of weakness and even received the press to give interviews until last week.
He was a candidate for the French Presidency up to five times, but he had not held any position of responsibility since he left his seat in the European Parliament in 2019. He did continue to participate as a commentator or commentator.
