Marine le Pen (born August 5, 1968 at Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a French politician.
An attorney by profession, she is mainly known for being Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter.
Divorced from her first marriage, which gave her three children, she has been remarried to Éric Iorio , an important member of her party.
She ran in the 2004 French regional elections in the Île-de-France region for her father's political party, the Front National. Since April 2003, she has been one of eight vice presidents of this party.
She is generally considered to represent a newer, softer tendency in the National Front, distanced from the perceived pervasive racism and antisemitism of the party.
Since 2002, she is also the president of Generations Le Pen, a organization close to the Front National which aims "to promote the thought and works of Jean-Marie Le Pen" among youth.
