Far-right presidential contender Eric Zemmour's Reconquest party has announced it will present 550 candidates in France's legislative elections in June, lamenting the failure of established right-wing parties to respond favourably to its "hand of friendship".
In a statement signed by Nicolas Bay and Guillaume Peltier – the two party vice-presidents who will lead the campaign – the political group will present "271 female candidates and 279 male candidates who will carry the colours of Reconquest everywhere" during the legislative elections that will be held on the 12 and 19 June.
