France Far Right Expels Policeman Member over Racist Remarks

The party said the officer was removed from its security team and expelled after footage showed racist, homophobic and sexist remarks.

  • On Tuesday, the newspaper Midi Libre published body-camera footage from November 6, 2025, in Carcassonne showing municipal police making racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks; the National Rally subsequently expelled an involved policeman from its security team.
  • Identified by Midi Libre as patrol leader C.R., the 50-year-old former paratrooper was responsible for nearly 90% of the hateful remarks and reportedly volunteered with the RN's internal security service.
  • A preliminary investigation has been underway since January 2026 at the Carcassonne public prosecutor's office, while legal experts note that non-public insults by public officials constitute a disciplinary offense potentially justifying permanent dismissal.
  • The footage, described as "of exceptional violence," includes discussions of a potential coup and a "civilisational replacement," prompting the mayor to call the remarks "sickening" and confirm "all those involved have been suspended."
  • Former prime minister Gabriel Attal condemned the footage, stating "This is what a France led by the RN would look like," while the party denounced the remarks "in the strongest possible terms" as "at odds with the values.
