One Week After Jean-Marie Le Pen Said That The Charlie Hebdo Attack in Paris was the Work of Western Intelligence and Israel, His House is Burned Down with Him Inside

‘Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of France’s far-Right Front National party, was slightly injured on Monday in an accidental fire at his house outside Paris.

The fire at Mr Le Pen’s house in Rueil-Malmaison is thought to have started in a chimney where work was being carried out. Mr Le Pen was injured as he escaped the flames by climbing out a window.

“There’s not much left” of the plush villa in the Paris suburb of Rueil-Malmaison, Mr Le Pen told Paris Match. “The damage is impressive.”‘
"The house burned, my father was inside," said Marine Le Pen, who now leads the Front National party that her 86-year-old father founded.

"I managed to climb out the window, but I tripped and fell onto the ground of the terrace," he told the magazine, adding that he had suffered a minor bruise to the face.


He and his wife were looked after by firefighters, but did not require hospitalisation.

"His face was injured, but it is not serious, nothing to worry about," she told AFP.

Miss Le Pen moved out of another of her father's homes in the western Paris suburbs last year after one of his Doberman dogs reportedly savaged one of her Bengal cats.

Le Parisien newspaper reported that around 40 firefighters were sent to the house and that the ground floor of the building was ruined by the blaze.

There was little sympathy for Mr Le Pen on social media, which saw a flurry of posts making fun of Mr Le Pen's misfortune.

"As if one flame could kill another," tweeted @JLRochedy, whose post included a picture of one of the Front National's symbols, a French tricolour flag in the form of a flame.

"Spare a thought for the fire fighters who saved le Pen. They are going to have to live with that all their lives," wrote @AmineJ4 in another of the hundreds of tweets that poured out after news of the fire broke.

Mr Le Pen set up the anti-immigrant and anti-establishment National Front party in 1972.

His daughter took over the party in 2011 and has overseen a huge boost in its fortunes, with the party coming first in France's EU elections last year.
