Alexandre Varaut (French pronunciation: [alɛksɑ̃dʁ(ə) vaʁo]; born 18 January 1966) is a French lawyer and politician of the National Rally (RN) who was elected a member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2024. He was previously an MEP from 1999 to 2004, representing the Rally for France (RPF) and Movement for France (MPF).[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Varaut was born in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1966,[3] as the son of lawyer Jean-Marc Varaut.[4] Having been a fierce opponent of the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, he joined the Movement for France in 1995, shortly after the 1995 French presidential election.[1]

He became a member of the European Parliament in 1999, after Philippe de Villiers resigned his seat.[5] In 2004 he was a candidate for the Union for a Popular Movement in the French regional election in Île-de-France, and in the 2007 legislative election he contested Seine-Saint-Denis's 5th constituency.[1] He was appointed national secretary of the Union for a Popular Movement in 2013,[4] and held the position for 18 months.[6]

Varaut has been described as "the National Rally's favourite lawyer."[2] He has represented Marine Le Pen, David Rachline, Frédéric Chatillon, Guillaume Peltier and La Manif pour Tous, among others.[1] In 2018 he became an advisor to Le Pen, as a member of Les Horaces.[7] He joined the National Rally in 2021, and returned to the European Parliament in 2024.
