Image:Marine Le Pen 28210.jpg Marine Le Pen (born August 5, 1968 at Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a French National Front (FN) politician; a lawyer by profession, she is mainly known for being Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter.
Life and career
A mother of three from her first marriage, she was divorced and married Éric Iorio, an important member of her party. Le Pen ran in the 2004 French regional elections in the Île-de-France région. She has been one of eight vice presidents of the FN since April 2003.
Marine Le Pen is generally considered to represent a newer, softer tendency in the FN, distanced from the perceived pervasive racism and anti-Semitism of the party. Since 2002, she is also the president of Generations Le Pen, an organization close to the FN, which aims "to promote the thought and works of Jean-Marie Le Pen" among youth. She was elected to the European Parliament in the 2004 elections.
