(Euractiv) A new far-right list will contest the 2024 European elections in France, led by former MP Marion Maréchal, under the colours of Éric Zemmour’s party, Reconquête!.
“We are going to make the European elections on 9 June [2024] a referendum on immigration,” Zemmour said in an interview to Le Figaro on Wednesday evening (6 September).
A candidate in the 2022 presidential election — when he came fourth with 7% of the vote — Zemmour has nominated former Front National MP Marion Maréchal to head his list for the 2024 poll.
Maréchal is the niece of Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National, whose list — led by MEP Jordan Bardella — she will be competing with.
