In the columns of the Journal du Dimanche, the former director of Frontex, the European Union agency responsible for border control, Fabrice Leggeri, announces that he is joining the RN list for the European elections in June. He wants to put his experience at the service of the French and “the RN has a concrete plan and the capacity to carry it out”.

The former director of Frontex, the EU agency responsible for border control, Fabrice Leggeri, announces in an interview with JDD published Saturday evening that he is joining the National Rally (RN) for the European elections in June and will appear third on Jordan Bardella’s list.

“My goal is to put my experience and expertise at the service of the French”

“The RN has a concrete plan and the capacity to carry it out. We are determined to combat migratory overwhelm, which the European Commission and the Eurocrats do not consider as a problem, but rather as a project: I can attest to this,” said declared Fabrice Leggeri at Sunday Newspaper. This 55-year-old senior French civil servant, enarque and normalien, held the post of director of Frontex from 2015 to 2022, before resigning.

“My objective is to put my experience and expertise at the service of the French. Having led Frontex for almost seven years and worked for the State for around thirty years, particularly in the areas of security and immigration management, this decision is very coherent,” he told JDD. “The European elections on June 9 represent a unique opportunity to put France and Europe back on the right path. This is why I am joining the list led by Jordan Bardella,” he added. Jordan Bardella, head of the list and president of the RN, is currently leading all the polls for this European election, around 30%, with around ten points ahead of the Macronist majority.
