French right-wing parties were mired by infighting Thursday as campaigning intensified for snap elections called by President Emmanuel Macron. Eric Ciotti of the mainstream right Republicans party announced a surprise alliance with the RN this week, which prompted the rest of the leadership team to vote him out Wednesday. Meanwhile Reconquest leader Eric Zemmour ousted Marion Marechal, who led the far right party’s European Parliament list, after she called on voters to choose her aunt Marine Le Pen’s National Rally at the ballot despite failing to secure an alliance with the party.
