ER Editor: So French MEP Marion Marechal, Marine Le Pen’s dynamic niece, has decided to found a new right-wing movement that brings other parties under its umbrella.
Some tweets —
The Co-Chairmen of the ECR Group, @NProcaccini and @jbrudzinski, extend a warm congratulations to ECR MEP @MarionMarechal, who has just launched a new political party in France: @ID_Libertes.

However, on Twitter there is much reaction against this party, as if Marechal has simply stolen and renamed the Conservative Party under French politician and freshly minted MEP, Laurence Trochu. Hmm. It sounds like somebody somewhere (levels above Marechal) has the idea to revamp the branding of the French right.
Our personal reading on this topic shows that the French right has always been the target of the globalists for chaos and breakup (France has always been Rothschild Central). Eric Zemmour, mentioned in the article below, and whose fairly new party Marechal joined at one point, was funded at arms-length by the Rothschilds. We wonder whose idea it is to make this most recent move.
@MarionMarechal did not really launch a NEW party.
The « Conservative Party » of European Deputy Laurence Trochu, has been renamed
« Identity – Liberty » and Marion Marechal got the Presidency..— 🇫🇷 Odile 🇫🇷 (@OdileBouhallier) October 8, 2024
false information. Madame Marechal has just changed the name of the party “the conservative movement” despite the anger of its members even though she has just taken over the presidency after Mrs. Laurence Trochu

Translation: Without consulting members She has no respect for members It’s mind-blowing, as for R! @LaurenceTrochu either who had her place eaten! What a bitch she hid her game well!
Sans consultation des adhérents 😳 Elle n’a aucun respect pour les adhérents C’est hallucinant, comme pour R! @LaurenceTrochu non plus qui s’est fait manger la place ! Quelle garce elle a bien caché son jeu !

Translation: All that for that! So Marion Maréchal made all this noise to finally… join Laurence Trochu’s conservative movement! She should announce it on October 8. The information does not even make an article in Valeurs actuelles: only a short news item.
Tout ça pour ça ! 😂
Donc Marion Maréchal a fait tout ce tintamarre pour finalement… rejoindre le mouvement conservateur de Laurence Trochu ! 😂 Elle devrait l’annoncer le 8 octobre.
L’information ne fait même pas un article dans Valeurs actuelles : seulement une petite brève. pic.twitter.com/2hAtQQCauW— 👊 Riposte Reconquête ! (soutien) (@Riposte_R) October 2, 2024
A reminder that between 10 and 11 million French people voted for Marine Le Pen’s party in the last election in July. She probably would have won it if there hadn’t been shenanigans, such as poll results curiously flipping at the last minute. Le Pen’s party is still a force to take very seriously.

Maréchal Launches New Right-Wing Party
Her goal for the IDL party is creating an Italian-style unity of the French Right, but observers fear further fragmentation.
HELENE DE LAUZUN
After carefully building up the suspense in recent weeks, MEP Marion Maréchal just announced her decision to lead a new right-wing political party, working to unite the French Rights.
Since her stormy departure from Éric Zemmour’s Reconquête party, where she headed the list for the European elections, it seemed obvious that Marion Maréchal would sooner or later set off on her own. (ER: Zemmour as we pointed out above was likely on the payroll of the Rothschilds.)
Marion Marechal delivers a speech during a meeting of the candidate of the Rassemblement National (RN) party, Patrick Louis (unseen), ahead of the first round of France’s parliamentary elections, in Villefranche-sur-Saone, on June 27, 2024.

She made it official on Monday, October 7th. In an interview with Le Figaro, Marion Maréchal announced the creation of a new movement, called Identité-Libertés. Although there were rumours that she was considering joining the Conservative Movement, led by Maréchal’s ally MEP Laurence Trochu, she decided instead to launch her own party.
Her aim is very clear: “to work on a structured coalition alongside Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella and Éric Ciotti.”
Marion Maréchal says she wants to draw inspiration from scenarios that have ensured success for the Right in other European countries: she is thinking first and foremost of Italy, which in September 2022 brought Giorgia Meloni to power at the head of a coalition of three right-wing parties.
For Maréchal, a coalition is the best way of preserving the ideological specificities of each party while ensuring effective collaboration. The MEP has been a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group since June 9th along with three of her former colleagues who have also broken with Zemmour. She defines her programme as “a civilisational right that is anti-woke, anti-assistance and anti-tax racketeering”—a position that could be summed up as liberal-conservative in French politics.
The title of her movement, Identité-Libertés, sums up its two main thrusts. Defending identity means fighting immigration and the Islamisation of French society, but also promoting France’s traditional Christian heritage. The defence of freedoms covers areas such as freedom of expression, freedom of education and free enterprise.
In terms of her political heritage, Maréchal claims to be the heir to figures such as Philippe de Villiers and François Fillon, whose electorate she believes to be “orphans” today. She believes that she is also appealing to a sociological segment of the right-wing electorate: “the votes of more urban, older and retired French people,” who have not managed to take the step of voting for the alliance already formed by Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella and Éric Ciotti.
In her interview, Maréchal takes note of the balance of power currently in favour of Rassemblement National (RN) within the French right. While there is no question of her joining its ranks, as she left in 2017, it is nonetheless clear that she must lend her support to Le Pen, her aunt, as the candidate of the National Right in the 2027 presidential elections.
She explains:
It’s the French who are telling us that the RN must be the heart of this coalition having placed it as the leading party in France. It is therefore logical that Marine Le Pen should be the legitimate candidate of the national camp. That’s why I will support her and work with her to build a majority in the National Assembly in which the civilisational right that I represent is represented.
Marion Maréchal is claiming the presidency of this new movement, in which she will be assisted by those who were elected to the European Parliament alongside her, or who were elected to the French National Assembly in July on her behalf. While she does not deny Éric Zemmour’s contribution to French politics in recent months, she considers that there was a fundamental “political disagreement” which prevented her from continuing alongside him:
The Reconquête leadership wanted to make Jordan Bardella our main adversary when I wanted to tackle the Left first. (ER: Because Zemmour wanted to split the right.)
This disagreement resulted, in her words, in an “exclusion” and a “smear campaign” against her—an attitude that led to an “impasse.”
Marion Maréchal’s new commitment has been met with mixed views in the French political world. On X, Zemmour’s supporters have made no secret of their annoyance, predicting a ‘satellisation’ of Marion Maréchal by the Rassemblement National. Outside observers now highlight the risk of extreme fragmentation of the French National Right, divided between the formations of Marine Le Pen, Éric Ciotti, Marion Maréchal, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Florian Philippot and, of course, Éric Zemmour.
