Jean-Marie Le Pen believes that an unflattering photo of him sleeping damaged his image in a recent election, and now he’s suing the dancer that snapped and posted it.

I don't know why he's pissed, he actually looks better than usual here.
He sued him because he can win, he probably don't even care
I don't see how the picture is unflattering, the issue is that the picture was tweeted with an insulting and political message, and also it is illegal to publish pictures of people if they haven't explicitly agreed to it.
“Knockout the [National Front] tomorrow by going to vote,” Zaibat’s caption read. The photo, which was also shared on Twitter and Facebook, received hundreds of thousands of likes, comments, and shares across social media. The next day, Le Pen’s National Front party (led by Le Pen’s daughter) was handily defeated in the regional elections.
Now Le Pen is demanding $54,248 (€50,000) from Zaibat, telling Public that the snapshot “harmed his image and was instrumental to the defeat of the party.” He’s also asking that Zaibat publish a written apology to his social media followers.
France has strict laws when it comes to photography and privacy. Article 9 of the country’s civil code states that “taking a person’s picture whether the person is living or dead is prohibited without the prior permission of those persons who are entitled to give it, since the protection of privacy extends beyond death.”
Le Pen’s lawsuit claims that the photo represented a breach of the politician’s privacy.
