France Far Right Expels Policeman Member over Racist Remarks

The party said the remarks were criminally punishable and removed the officer from its security team and membership.

  • On Wednesday, the National Rally expelled a policeman identified as C.R. from its security team after Midi Libre published body-camera footage recorded November 6, 2025, showing him making racist, homophobic and sexist remarks.
  • The patrol leader, identified as C.R., was responsible for nearly 90% of the hateful remarks recorded during the shift, including commentary on 'civilisational replacement' and discussions of a potential coup.
  • Following the publication, Carcassonne city council and the local prosecutor's office suspended the involved officers and withdrew their authorizations; a preliminary investigation has been under way since January 2026.
  • Lyon Bar lawyer Benjamin Cottet-Emard noted that such insults constitute a disciplinary offense, with Council of State rulings suggesting these officers face potential permanent dismissal from public service.
  • Rights group Amnesty International has previously warned of "worrying" public racist comments that challenge the rule of law, while Former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal shared the footage on X.
