Career

Peltier is a former member of the National Front (FN) and former leader of its youth section. He led The Strong Right, a right-wing populist faction of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), later The Republicans (LR), similar to The Popular Right faction. Peltier was a founder of the pro-life student group Young Christian Action (Jeunesse Action Chrétienté).[1]

On 9 January 2022, Peltier joined Reconquête (R!) to become party leader Éric Zemmour's deputy, in support of Zemmour's campaign in the 2022 presidential election. Zemmour has stated Peltier joining the party would allow it to heavily increase its access into local political structures.[2] Earlier, Peltier was spokesman (2016–2017) and vice president (2019–2021) of The Republicans (LR).
