Sébastien Chenu speaks on BFMTV and takes the helm of the RN group in the National Assembly
On 25 October 2026, Sébastien Chenu, MP for Nord, was the guest on the programme "Le Grand Oral 2027" on BFMTV. He condemned "all forms of violence" and attributed violence to "laxity", while stating that the RN was not calling for demonstrations. He considered that a resignation by Emmanuel Macron "would do the country a service" and declared that his party was extending a hand to left‑wing French people. He also denounced "this far‑left" after the RN congress in Orléans. The following day, he threatened to cut CGT subsidies if the RN came to power, then succeeded Marine Le Pen as president of the RN group in the National Assembly.
