Five days before the second round of parliamentary elections, the National Rally is hit by several controversies surrounding some of its candidates.
At the National Rally, “the draw strategy” is in charge of his wing. Since the 2022 parliamentary elections, the nationalist party’s staff has insisted that its members behave impeccably. A discipline that is necessary to achieve the full standardization of the RN. But since the dissolution of the National Assembly and the launch of the lightning election campaign, the controversies have increased. Latest example? This Tuesday in Calvados.
“We cannot accept this kind of thing”. At the microphone of France Bleu Normandie, the RN branch representative tries to put out the fire, somewhat embarrassed. The day before, a photo of Ludivine Daoudi, party candidate in the first constituency of Calvados, wearing a Nazi cap, was published on social networks. “She doesn’t deny it, she took this photo a few years ago at an arms exchange,” he explains, regretting the “bad taste” of the cliché and the announcement of the “withdrawal of the application”.
Far from being an isolated incident, this episode adds to the numerous hiccups and controversies surrounding RN candidates in recent days. Last Friday, Marine Le Pen disavowed resigning MP Roger Chudeau, following his controversial remarks against former minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. Last Monday, a candidate defended herself in Mayenne against accusations of racism against her party “Have a Jewish ophthalmologist and a Muslim dentist”. In late April, the party was forced to quickly remove Saidali Boina Hamissi from its list in the European elections after his comments on immigration. On Facebook, the party’s Mayotte branch deputy described Comorian migrants as “vermin” And “cockroaches”.
These examples show how difficult it is for the RN to sort through her candidate pool. “slipping”the lack of selection during investitures can create unlikely situations. In the second constituency of the Jura, the second round has not yet taken place, but the shadow of an invalidation of the elections looms. The reason? Party candidate Thierry Mosca qualified for the second round… even though his placement under curatorship does not make him suitable. At the end of last week, the daily Progress it turned out that legal proceedings are underway against the 65-year-old man “hidden work” was fired in early June because of a “defective mental state”.
