Former president of the National Front (ex RN) placed "under legal protection" Jean-Marie Le Pen was the subject of a future protection warrant in mid-February, said his lawyer. Marie-Caroline, Yann and Marine Le Pen will be able to carry out various civil acts in the name of their father, concerning for example banks, the tax administration, or pension funds.

If the court found that Jean- Marie Le Pen could not fully defend himself, the trial would be postponed pending an illory recovery.
