THE FORMER BOSS OF FRONTEX

IN THE COLORS OF THE NATIONAL GATHERING

FOR EUROPEANS

A real war prize for the RN: Fabrice Leggeri, former boss of Frontex joins Jordan Bardella for the Europeans. Fabrice Leggeri, former director of Frontex, the EU agency responsible for border control, announced Saturday February 17 in an interview with JDD that he was joining the National Rally for the European elections in June. He will be third on Jordan Bardella's list.

“The European elections on June 9 represent a unique opportunity to put France and Europe back on the right path,” he declared. In his interview, the 55-year-old senior French civil servant explains his choice. According to him, "the RN has a concrete plan and the capacity to carry it out. We are determined to combat migratory overwhelm, which the European Commission and the Eurocrats do not consider as a problem, but rather as a project", believes -he.

Appointed in 2015 on the proposal of Bernard Cazeneuve, then Minister of the Interior, he fundamentally transformed Frontex, from a small humanitarian structure into a border police force. But following a disciplinary investigation, this senior official resigned. He was targeted by the European Anti-Fraud Office. The organization accused him of "not having respected procedures, of having demonstrated disloyalty towards the European Union" and of being responsible for "poor personal management".

“Regarding these accusations, it is important to note that neither the European Parliament nor the Frontex board of directors have found concrete evidence to support them,” says Fabrice Leggeri in the JDD. He added during the interview that: "in reality, for wanting to control immigration, I was pressured and I felt general abandonment. The French government pressured me to resign. Germany was not inclined to support me. The European Commission, clearly hostile towards me, wanted me to leave

Placed third on the list, this former senior official is an additional asset for the credibility of the immigration movement.
