In a recent article from the South China Morning Post, it is revealed that Louis Aliot, the ex-partner of Marine Le Pen, plays a significant role in French politics. Aliot is the mayor of Perpignan and a vice-president of the French political party Rassemblement National (RN) or National Rally. He has been credited with helping shape the party's narrative and 'detoxify' its image. Aliot and Le Pen were romantically linked for over a decade but broke up in 2019 [ae5770e9].
Aliot has been described as one of the 'chief architects' behind the party's image revamp. He played a crucial role in elevating Le Pen's standing in the party and was instrumental in changing the party's name from National Front to National Rally in 2018. Aliot has been involved in politics since his youth and joined the National Front when Jean-Marie Le Pen was its leader. He worked his way through the ranks and became vice-president in 2011. Aliot also served as Le Pen's parliamentary assistant and was an elected member of the European Parliament.
Despite their romantic relationship, Aliot and Le Pen managed to separate their personal and professional lives. Aliot has been married to Véronique Lopez since 2021 [ae5770e9].
