Former Royal Chef Enters French Legislative Race with Far-Right Support

Contacted by Éric Ciotti, president of The Republicans, Babette de Rozières, 77, a famous French chef, and also a regional councilor in Île-de-France, will run in the early legislative elections of June 30 and July 7, 2024, reports JDD. Information confirmed within the National Rally (RN) on Friday: "She will go under the RN and LR label." The former head chef of King Mohammed VI would also have been contacted by the RN. "I said yes but on the condition of staying in the Yvelines which is my department of heart and body. I’ve been there for forty years," she confides. "France is in danger and I want to save it. There is shit everywhere and ordinary people don’t have enough to fill their carts. I can’t just stand by and do nothing."

But the LR candidate in the 2017 legislative elections in Paris and then in 2022 in the Yvelines, does not wish to dwell on her proximity or not with the National Rally. "But that’s all over! France is in danger and I don’t want to get into these details. Me, I’m charging ahead and looking forward. And forward is France. The labels, that’s the past," she says. Even that of LFI? "But what is that, LFI? A new shampoo, a product to wash the house?" replies the Guadeloupean restaurateur. Her opponent will be the former minister Nadia Hai, the outgoing deputy.

Babette de Rozières had confided about her first meeting with King Mohammed VI and the Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan. Without failing to recount anecdotes about the royal family.
