The far-right Rassemblement National has publicly distanced itself from Germany’s Alternative for Germany, signaling a shift in alliances ahead of next year’s French presidential election. The move comes amid growing concerns over potential electoral cooperation between European far-right parties, with French officials emphasizing their independence from German far-right strategies. Analysts suggest the decision reflects internal debates within the Rassemblement National about balancing national priorities with broader pan-European far-right coordination. The development raises questions about the future of cross-border political collaboration in Europe’s rising nationalist movements.
