Publicly, the far-right Rassemblement Nationwide (RN) swears it has minimize its ties with essentially the most radical far-right. Behind the scenes, nevertheless, the social gathering based by Jean-Marie Le Pen nonetheless has hyperlinks with various teams advocating violent motion or selling racialist theories. These ties persist even inside the very coronary heart of the place the place the social gathering is pursuing its de-demonizing technique: the Assemblée Nationale.

For his second time period as MP, Philippe Schreck has recruited Rafael Ferron to work with him. The newspaper Libération revealed on Thursday, September 26, that Ferron is extra unfavorably generally known as Raphaël Ayma, the alias beneath which he holds the place of “spokesperson” for the identitarian affiliation Tenesoun, which grew out of the dissolution of the revolutionary nationalist motion Bastion Social in 2019.
