Jean-Marie Le Pen was a prominent French politician who founded the Front National in 1972 and remained a controversial figure in French politics for decades. The phrase Jean-Marie éternel treats his name as a lasting political symbol, and the short clip circulates online as a compact reference for memes and edits. Its continued use comes from that shorthand quality: a few seconds are enough to signal a political stance, an era, or a reaction to Le Pen without needing further explanation.
