Sarah Knafo, MEP for Reconquest!, publicizes her candidacy | EUROtoday

A yr in the past, Sarah Knafo was nonetheless hesitant to return out of the shadow of Eric Zemmour, her companion, whose presidential marketing campaign she had led in 2022. It is now a completed deal. The European MP for Reconquête!, the one elected official from the far-right celebration, introduced on Wednesday January 7, on TF1’s “8 p.m.” present, her candidacy for Paris City Hall.

“I am a candidate to be the next mayor of Paris (…) No one will be as determined as me to put an end to waste” within the capital, declared the MEP, who thus turns into the sixth candidate on this election of March 15 and 22. “If Parisians trust me, I will have six years to restore the most beautiful city in the world. It’s a full-time job”she added, successfully ruling out working for the 2027 presidential election, for which she “hope” that Eric Zemmour’s celebration “will have another candidate”.

Sarah Knafo would be the second far-right candidate within the capital, with Thierry Mariani, of the National Rally. With the chance of stopping each from passing the ten% threshold of votes, and due to this fact from coming into the Council of Paris.

Young in politics, Sarah Knafo, aged 32, has by no means proven a disproportionate curiosity in native points, working to this point to construct essentially the most radical program, on the sovereign and financial ranges, within the French political panorama. The problem is slightly to benefit from the media publicity of the Parisian election, through which the race to succeed Anne Hidalgo would be the most important problem within the municipal elections of March 2026.

In addition to Thierry Mariani, the MEP will face Rachida Dati (invested by Les Républicains and supported by MoDem), Pierre-Yves Bournazel (Renaissance et Horizons), Emmanuel Grégoire (Socialist Party) and Sophia Chikirou (La France insoumise).
