Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of France's far-right National Front, was a polarizing figure known for his fiery anti-immigration rhetoric and extreme views.
His statements, including Holocaust denial and controversial proposals, led to multiple convictions and strained political alliances throughout his career.
French President Emmanuel Macron referred to Le Pen as a 'historic figure of the far right' who will be judged by history for his role in public life.
Despite being excluded from the National Front in 2015, Jean-Marie Le Pen's divisive legacy continues through his daughter Marine Le Pen's political actions.
