Newly elected European, he is also preparing the legislative elections as vice-president of the RN

The RN achieves a historic score with 31% of the votes?

We have never had such a result, it’s unprecedented. And with 30 deputies, we will have the largest national delegation in the European Parliament. all countries combined.
Can you be an MEP and a Eurosceptic ?
Of course. We are not against Europe but we do not want to be subjected to its current functioning. We are going to change the way of working and the decisions that are taken, to orient policy differently. Texts have sometimes been passed with a difference of only 20 votes. With the number of our elected representatives, this will no longer be possible. As with immigration or punitive ecology with the ban on thermal engines.

The dissolution is an admission of failure by Macron or a trap he is setting for the RN?

The President nationalized European issues and the campaign, he could not do otherwise than dissolve. The RN has 31% of the votes when the party in power has only 13.5%, this was not sustainable. Our four outgoing MPs are standing again, we intend to win the other two constituencies. Since Sunday, we have received hundreds of spontaneous applications at the national level for these elections, most of them are not members of the RN. These legislative elections will be the death of the Renaissance party, it will have a ridiculous number of MPs. The President is probably hoping to show our incompetence in power but we are ready to govern. He is making a big strategic error.

Do you dream of a national destiny rather than a European adventure ?

I have no personal ambition. My priority is to serve France.
