Nicolas Dupont-Aignan Declares 2027 Presidential Candidacy

The leader of Debout la France aims to champion French sovereignty and independence in his fourth bid for the presidency.

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan announced his candidacy for the 2027 French presidential election during a speech in Yerres, Essonne, marking his fourth consecutive run.
The former deputy emphasized his platform of sovereignty, liberty, and peace, pledging to restore France's independence from the European Union.
He proposed replacing the EU with a lighter structure and described Frexit as a last-resort measure if reforms toward a 'Europe of sovereign nations' fail.
His economic plans include introducing national tariffs to combat unfair competition and promoting what he calls 'intelligent protectionism.'
On immigration, Dupont-Aignan vowed to renegotiate agreements with countries like Algeria and cut development aid to nations refusing to accept deported nationals.
