For his part, the president of the Rassemblement national Jordan Bardella considered “unsavourable” the “desecration of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s grave”: “The most universal morality already disapproves of its authors: I wish that they will also be found and severely punished by the judiciary.” Similar comments were made by the missing niece, Marion Marshal, who talks about an “infamid”: “Maybe you think you will break our hearts, intimidate us, discourage us? But our answer will be to fight you always and even stronger, generation after generation. ”

In addition to the Le Pen clan, representatives of other political forces also regretted the actions committed at the cemetery of Trinidad-on-Mer, beginning with the Minister of the Interior: “The degradation of the tomb of the Le Pen family in Trinidad is an absolute abjection. Respect for the dead is what distinguishes civilization from barbarism," writes Bruno Retailleau on X. Meyer Habib, a related outgoing deputy LR of the 8th constituency of the French abroad, was outraged, although he recalled having "told all his life" the ideas of Jean-Marie Le Pen: "Profianer's grave is miserable. It is a sacrilege and an abomination. Leave them dead alone. ", he added.

To prevent the recurrence of such damage, the cemetery was closed and placed under increased surveillance by the authorities, while an investigation into the “violation of burial” entrusted to the Lorient Gendarmerie Brigade was launched.
