Guillaume Peltier (French pronunciation: [ɡijom pɛltje]; born 27 August 1976) is a French politician, former teacher and business leader, who was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2024. He represented the 2nd constituency of the Loir-et-Cher department in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022. He has also served in the Departmental Council of Loir-et-Cher for the canton of Chambord since 2021. A former member of The Republicans, Peltier joined Reconquête to support Éric Zemmour's presidential candidacy in 2022.
Career
[edit]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 anti-abortion student group Young Christian Action (Jeunesse Action Chrétienté).[1]
In 2014, he was elected as mayor of Neung-sur-Beuvron and chairman of the Communauté de Communes de la Sologne des Etangs.
In 2017, he was elected to the National Assembly in the 2nd constituency of Loir-et-Cher.
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). In the 2022 French legislative election he lost his seat after being eliminated in the first round.[3]
