MEP Gilbert Collard announced on Saturday that he would join the ranks of far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour just three days after another Rassemblement National (RN) member left Marine Le Pen’s party.

“I think that a day will come when Marine Le Pen will be like me, will join Eric Zemmour because he has a dynamic which is historical courage, political courage,” said the MEP as he announced his departure on 21 January.

The announcement comes a few days after another important voice in Le Pen’s presidential campaign, MEP and chairman of the RN delegation in the European Parliament, Jérôme Rivière, announced he would leave her party and join her far-right rival.
