The article from MSN discusses the enduring influence and controversial legacy of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of France's far-right National Front (now National Rally) party. Despite being officially ousted from the party by his daughter Marine Le Pen in 2015, his ideologies continue to shape French politics. Jean-Marie Le Pen, known for his provocative statements and Holocaust denial, has left a toxic legacy that includes normalizing far-right rhetoric in French political discourse. His daughter, Marine, has attempted to detoxify the party's image, but elements of his original platform, such as anti-immigration and nationalist sentiments, persist. The article highlights how his political career, marked by numerous legal battles over hate speech and his controversial views, has had a lasting impact, influencing not just the National Rally but also the broader political landscape in France, where far-right ideas have gained more acceptance over time.
