The surprise is total. We hope that you are seated well before reading the following sentence: the former spokesperson for the SICP commissioners’ union, the very media cop Matthieu Valet, will join the RN list at the Europeans. A information from Parisian confirmed by the person concerned this morning on… this cannot be made up… CNews and Europe 1 obviously.

A “pride” for Valet who joins according to him “a great popular movement” who will defend the “first in line”. Necessary for Valet, which notably evokes the tragedy of farmers’ suicide. He will therefore be able to discuss it with his new colleague Julien Odoul who likes to make jokes on this subject. In November, the same Valet was already ensuring Parisian that no no, such a rallying “was not current”. “These are rumors. I wasn’t offered anything, and I didn’t ask for anything.”he said again in December.

Always the same month, with Current values, an RN executive confirmed the former boatman “reaches an obviously interesting audience for [eux]». Only fools don’t change their minds.

Its head of list Jordan Bardella, who has so far dominated the polls, immediately wanted the “Welcome” on the social network “man on the ground in a France prey to savagery”. Marine Le Pen also greeted on X the newcomer.

Former deputy head of the BAC (anti-crime brigade) of Val-de-Marne, then union leader, the new member of the RN recalled on CNews his modest origins: of Spanish origin, raised “in a 15-story tower in a city in Lille”became “keeper of peace through competition, work, effort and merit”. “I was given nothing […] I went to look for everything with my teeth”he said.
