In the lead-up to the 2027 French presidential election, Charles Alloncle, a deputy from the Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR), has urged prominent right-wing figures, including Bruno Retailleau, president of Les Républicains and a presidential candidate, to unite behind Marine Le Pen, the candidate of the National Rally. Speaking to BFMTV on September 15, Alloncle emphasized the need for unity among right-wing parties to avoid splitting votes. He called on those who advocate for a united right to put aside personal rivalries and support a single candidate.
According to a recent survey by Toluna Harris Interactive for M6-RTL, published on September 14, Marine Le Pen remains significantly ahead in the first round of the presidential race, with between 33% and 36% of the vote in various scenarios. This has been described by Alloncle as a "historic opportunity" to offer an alternative to the French public. He stressed the importance of setting aside personal interests and egos to achieve a stronger right-wing coalition.
The UDR, led by Éric Ciotti, has long been an ally of the National Rally and supports Marine Le Pen's candidacy in the 2027 election. During his political return on September 5 in Levens (Alpes-Maritimes), Ciotti announced that he had proposed an "alliance pact" with Marine Le Pen. He reiterated his commitment to the alliance with the National Rally, led by Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen, stating he would defend this union with all his strength.
Ciotti had previously expressed his support for Le Pen's campaign during a July 12 appearance on BFM Politique, where he stated he would participate loyally in her presidential campaign. He also hinted at his party's future role in the legislative elections following the presidential race, suggesting that the UDR would join the parliamentary majority. This indicates a broader strategy to consolidate right-wing power in both presidential and legislative elections.
