Christian Bouchet

After declaring to have broken with his former activism, he joined the Front National in 2008 and became a local branch leader from October 2010 to May 2011 and from March 2013 to actually. He was candidate of the Front National for every poll since 2008 and, in 2013, the Front National choose him to lead his list for the municipal elections in Nantes (the 6th town of France). He is the father of Gauthier Bouchet, FN municipal councillor of Saint-Nazaire.

In 1973, he served the Organisation lutte du peuple, a nationalist revolutionary split of the far-right movement Ordre Nouveau intended to defend the nationalist movements of the Third World, particularly the Arabic states opposite to Zionism and perceived American imperialism. Then he was a member of the Groupes nationalistes révolutionnaires of François Duprat and of the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement [fr] (Mouvement nationaliste révolutionnaire) of Jean-Gilles Malliarakis After a spell in the Troisième Voie he set up Nouvelle Résistance in 1991 whilst also refounding the European Liberation Front. This group was absorbed by Unité Radicale in 1998. He has since gone on to lead the study group Réseau Radical which emphasised anti-Zionism and after that the association Les Nôtres. He has also led the 'radical' tendency within the National Republican Movement and has sat on its national council. Bouchet who was an exponent of the Third Position until 1990, was later influenced by Aleksandr Dugin and advocated National Bolshevism and then Eurasianism.

Coming from a far right family with monarchist and Organisation armée secrète links, in 1970 Bouchet joined the monarchist group Restauration nationale, and, in 1971, a member of Nouvelle Action française which was a split (called in France a "Mao-maurrassien" group) of the former.
