The founder and former president of the National Front, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was hospitalized on Wednesday evening following an eye stroke, the politician’s entourage confirmed to Europe 1. Still according to this same source, the days of the 93-year-old “Menhir” are not in danger. But he must still remain under observation until Saturday. “The examinations show that there is no imminent threat that has been medically identified,” said his adviser Lorrain de Saint Affrique.
Loss of vision for a few seconds
He suffered a “mild form of stroke” when he lost vision for “1 minute to 1 minute and a half” during a dinner Monday evening at his home in Hauts-de-Seine. A doctor friend came to his home to observe him until his appointment on Wednesday evening, which followed an interview with AFP journalists during which the former politician showed no trouble.
In June 2018, Jean-Marie Le Pen was hospitalized for eleven days near Paris after complications from a flu contracted in April of the same year.
A few days ago, while his daughter Marine faces defections in his camp two months before the presidential election, Jean-Marie Le Pen assured him of his support. “Of course, I support my daughter who is the candidate for the National Rally. It’s quite natural.”
