If in the polls of voting intentions for the European elections, everything is going well for the National Rally, still largely in the lead, the divorce seems close between the far-right party and its German counterpart AfD. This week he demanded the return of Mayotte to the Comoros, while Marine Le Pen was preparing to visit the French department this weekend.

Upon his arrival at Mayotte, Marine Le Pen launched into a diatribe against her partner in the Identity and Democracy group in the European Parliament.
“ The AfD would do better to deal with the problems ofGermany and I’m angry about this situation “, scathed the boss of the RN, then protesting at the parallel made by the German party between the vote of the Mahorais to remain in the bosom of the France and that organized by the Russia in Crimea.
One more pitfall in a Rassemblement national-Alternative für Deutschland relationship, which has deteriorated in recent months: in February, Marine Le Pen put pressure on her counterpart Alice Weidel so that her party condemns the idea of ”remigration” of Germans of foreign origin defended during a meeting which sparked scandal across the Rhine. The German leader had vaguely made amends, but without really acceding to the RN’s demands.
This new incident adds to the discomfort of the National Rally, which hopes on the one hand to become the leader of an essential identity group in the European Parliament, which would include parties as radical as the AfD, while not frightening its electorate more moderate French in view of the 2027 presidential election.
