Union of the far right

The Union of the far right (French: Union de l'extrême droite, UXD) is a political and electoral nuance created by the Ministry of Interior for the 2024 French legislative election to denote candidates from the Les Republicans party that are supported and endorsed by the National Rally.[1]

Le Monde classifies these investitures as joint LR/RN candidacies.

## History[edit]

Following the 2024 European election results, President Emmanuel Macron announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, with snap elections scheduled for 30 June 2024 (first round) and 7 July 2024 (second round).

On 11 June 2024, in response to the announcement, Eric Ciotti, leader of Les Republicans, suggested that LR form a political and electoral alliance with the National Rally and run joint candidates at the upcoming elections. Marine Le Pen, leader of the RN group in the National Assembly, described Ciotti’s announcement as a “brave choice”.[2]

His response was heavily criticized within Les Republicans itself, leading to executives of the party to hold a vote ousting him as leader (although Ciotti himself disputes this and, as prior to the election, he remains the de jure leader of the party).[3]

Ciotti subsequently entered into negotiations with the National Rally, announcing on 17 June 2024 that an agreement had been reached for the RN to support - and field no opposition to - 62 Les Republicans candidates in the upcoming election.[4]
