French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen in hospital after ‘minor’ stroke
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJean-Marie Le Pen, a French far-right veteran whose daughter is hoping to unseat President Emmanuel Macron in elections just over two months away, has been hospitalized after a “minor” stroke, aides say.
Le Pen, 93, was admitted to the hospital late Wednesday as a “precaution” and is expected to return home this weekend, his longtime adviser Lorrain de Saint Affrique says.
“Medical exams have shown there’s no immediate risk,” he says, adding that the “minor” attack occurred during a dinner Monday at his home outside Paris, which saw him lose his vision “for a minute or a minute and a half.”
