When the RN, Soral and Dieudonné use the travel agency of Frédéric Chatillon

The article investigates the connections between the French far-right National Rally (RN), figures like Éric Soral and Dieudonné, and Frédéric Chatillon, who runs a travel agency. It suggests that these individuals have used Chatillon’s services, potentially indicating ties between far-right groups and private entities. The piece explores whether this relationship has any implications for political influence or financial dealings. The article does not provide specific details about the nature of the transactions or their significance but raises questions about potential links.

The French far-right party Rassemblement National (RN) faced backlash after attempting to remove two prominent humanities and social science institutions through an amendment to the finance bill. The move was later quietly withdrawn amid widespread opposition. The amendment aimed to eliminate two key academic institutions, which the RN criticized as being "obscurantist and ignorant." However, the proposal was quickly abandoned following public outcry and pressure from critics. Separately, the RN has increasingly positioned itself as a defender of motorists, leveraging car-related issues for electoral gain. Since the yellow vest protests, the party has aligned with French car manufacturers against European regulations, portraying itself as a champion of drivers' purchasing power. In another development, the RN has been using travel services provided by Dreamwell, a company owned by former GUD leader Frédéric Chatillon. This firm previously served Alain Soral and Dieudonné, both convicted of antisemitism. The connection resurfaced as Soral and Dieudonné regained prominence due to the Jordan Bardella affair. On October 9, the interior ministry requested the dissolution of Soral’s movement, Égalité et Réconciliation (E&R). The RN's ties to Chatillon’s agency have drawn scrutiny, especially given its links to figures embroiled in antisemitism cases.

How the RN turned the car into a voting and notarization tool
