Rank: "Intelligence Officer" - ?[edit]

This is no rank, it is a position. - Which rank did Le Pen actually reach - First Lieutenant ? Captain ? --88.217.104.85 (talk) 16:49, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still the honorary president of the FN?[edit]

Is Le Pen still the honorary president of the FN, or did his honorary presidency end when he was expelled from the party in 2015? The infobox shows him as still serving as the honorary president, but the article states he was expelled from the party, and that a supermajority of FN members voted to expel him from the honorary presidency. --1990'sguy (talk) 22:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This question was answered elsewhere. --1990'sguy (talk) 20:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Far-right[edit]

FMSky why do you think calling Le Pen "far-right" in the lead is WP:UNDUE? He has been widely described as such (sources presented by Hemiauchenia:[1], [2], [3])VR _talk 19:04, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that "far-right" isn't UNDUE for the lead. Here are a few heavily cited academic journals reporting Le Pen as "far-right":

Jean Marine Le Pen is notable coz he is polititian so his ideology is important and carries significant weight. So, yes for inclusion. We could instead/also use the word "nationalist". Cinadon36 19:55, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

+1 to this. "Far right" seems apt and well attested. Cheers, all. Dumuzid (talk) 03:39, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Le Pen is best known as a leader of the far right in France. TFD (talk) 05:10, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with comments here: "far right" is clearly due and verifiable. BobFromBrockley (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does he speak Breton?[edit]

He seems to have been born at a time when it was still passed to the children by anyone, not just revivalists. 89.64.70.36 (talk) 23:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
