Marion Maréchal
Marion Jeanne Caroline Maréchal (French pronunciation: [maʁjɔ̃ maʁeʃal] ⓘ; née Le Pen; born 10 December 1989), known as Marion Maréchal-Le Pen from 2010 to 2018, is a French politician who has served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 2024. She is part of the Le Pen family, as the granddaughter of National Front (renamed National Rally in 2018) founder Jean-Marie Le Pen and niece of its later leader Marine Le Pen.
Maréchal is a former member of the far-right National Front (FN) and served as the member of the National Assembly for the 3rd constituency of Vaucluse from 2012 to 2017. Aged 22 years at the time of her election, she became France's youngest parliamentarian in modern political history. After the 2015 regional election, for which she received the best result for an FN candidate, she became the Leader of the Opposition in the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
In 2017, Maréchal did not seek reelection as a member of the National Assembly and resigned as a regional councillor. She founded the Institut des sciences sociales, économiques et politiques (ISSEP), a private school, in 2018. In 2022, she joined Éric Zemmour's Reconquête party. She headed the party's list for the European Parliament in the 2024 election, before being expelled from the party by Zemmour on 12 June 2024 due to calling on voters to support RN candidates in the 2024 snap legislative election.
Maréchal was born on 10 December 1989 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines, northwest of Paris.
Her grandfather, Jean-Marie Le Pen, founded the Front National party on 5 October 1972. Her aunt Marine Le Pen has been FN president since 16 January 2011, with Jean-Marie Le Pen first becoming honorary chairman and later excluded in August 2015. Her mother Yann Le Pen, Jean-Marie Le Pen's second daughter, does not carry out any official duties within the FN. Her father Samuel Maréchal was the leader of the Front National Youth movement (FNJ) for seven years (1992–1999). She featured with her grandfather in a campaign poster at the age of two.
In a book entitled The Conquerors (Les Conquérantes) launched on 18 November 2013, the French journalist Christine Clerc revealed that Samuel Maréchal is not her biological father. On 7 November 2013, the French weekly news magazine L'Express disclosed that her biological father was Roger Auque (1956 - 2014), a French diplomat and investigative journalist. On 8 November, Marion Maréchal announced that she was suing L'Express for a "serious invasion of her privacy". She won her case in April 2015.
Maréchal married businessman Matthieu Decosse on 29 July 2014, at the Saint-Cloud town hall. Their daughter was born that September. They divorced in 2016.
Maréchal became engaged to Italian politician Vincenzo Sofo in 2018. The couple married on 11 September 2021. Maréchal gave birth to a second child, her daughter Clotilde, on 10 June 2022.
