Eric Ciotti
Eric Ciotti is a French politician and member of the Les Républicains party, known for his conservative positions and strong advocacy for security and immigration policies. He has served as a member of the National Assembly since 2007, representing the Alpes-Maritimes department. Ciotti gained significant attention when he was elected president of the party in December 2022, succeeding Christian Jacob. His leadership style is characterized by a focus on party unity and electoral strategy, particularly in response to the rising influence of far-right politics in France. In recent news, he stepped down from his position after forming an alliance with the Rassemblement National during legislative elections, leaving the party leadership open for new candidates.
