The Guest of Honor: Jean-Philippe Tanguy, Deputy Rassemblement National (RN) of the Somme
The guest of honor on Sunday, February 23rd, is Jean-Philippe Tanguy, the Rassemblement National (RN) deputy of the Somme department in northern France.
Jean-Philippe Tanguy: A Rising Star in the RN
Born in 1971 in Amiens, Tanguy has been actively involved in politics since his youth. He joined the Front National (FN), the precursor to the RN, in 1988. After graduating from university with a degree in economics, he held various positions within the party, including local councilor in Amiens and regional councilor for Picardy.
In 2017, Tanguy was elected as a deputy for the Somme department in the French National Assembly. He is currently a member of the Law Commission and the Foreign Affairs Commission.
Tanguy is considered a rising star within the RN, known for his sharp wit and incisive arguments. He is a strong supporter of Marine Le Pen, the party’s leader, and is widely seen as a potential successor to her.
The Rassemblement National: A Controversial Party with a Growing Influence
The Rassemblement National (RN), formerly known as the Front National, is a far-right political party founded in 1972. The party is known for its nationalist, anti-immigration, and Eurosceptic ideologies.
In recent years, the RN has gained increasing support in France, particularly in rural and working-class areas. The party won more than 20% of the vote in the 2022 presidential election, and currently holds 89 seats in the National Assembly, making it the largest opposition party.
The RN’s policies have been criticized by many, who accuse the party of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. However, the party continues to attract voters who feel disenfranchised by mainstream politics.
