Damien Rieu

Damien Lefèvre, known under Damien Rieu, is a far-right politician and activist. He is a good example of the porosity between the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary far right, as he co-founded Génération Identity and is today a parliamentary assistant for a RN deputy at the EU parliament since 2019, and was in 2021 a RN candidate to regional elections.

In January 2022, he announced to rally Eric Zemmour and his party Reconquête! instead, of which he was appointed vice-president.
