French sovereignist Asselineau mulls 2027 presidential run, Frexit platform

François Asselineau, 69-year-old leader of the Union populaire républicaine, signals intent to launch another presidential campaign advocating France's exit from the EU. The move is preliminary and unconfirmed, but would inject a sovereignist voice into the race. It matters as a potential indicator of anti-EU sentiment ahead of the 2027 election.
