Emmanuel Négrier

The rise of the extreme right in France is the subject of controversy, including its causes and its future. Some predict an immediate takeover of power, but regularly note that a “glass ceiling” prevents this after all.
Others believe that the Rassemblement National (RN) would collapse if it had to prove its “true” power – but see that almost all RN mayors have been re-elected.
The campaign for the presidency now appears in a new light, given the emerging split between two extreme right movements – Le Pen’s legacy and the Zemmour “epic.”

Emmanuel Négrier is a political scientist, director of CEPEL (Centre d’Études Politiques de l’Europe Latine), and research director in political science at the University of Montpellier. His research focuses on cultural politics, territorial change and political behavior.
