“That we are excluded in a violent and illegal way, we do not accept it and we will very legitimately have the necessary procedures”, declared on franceinfo Tuesday January 25 Gilbert Collard, MEP, after his exclusion from the group to which the National Rally belongs to the European Parliament. Gilbert Collard, like Jérôme Rivière, has joined forces with Éric Zemmour’s Reconquête party for the 2022 presidential election. “We will obviously react on the question of respect for the law”, he added.
“We expected it, but we didn’t think it would be done in defiance of all the basic rules that govern the matter”, he was indignant on franceinfo. “To be excluded from a group, you have to violate its political platform. We did not make contrary remarks, we did not have contrary attitudes. This is an internal, French affair, which in no way violates the band’s platform.”
“We are excluded by the will of the leadership of the National Rally.”

Marine Le Pen “taught me how to do it. I don’t want to argue and get into quarrels. My boorish teacher was Marine Le Pen”, continued Gilbert Collard. The MEP also assured that other elected members of the National Rally in the European Parliament will join Éric Zemmour.
