• The blurring distinction between Les Républicains and the National Rally following the immigration law debates is a point of concern.
• The 2024 election is likely to continue fostering ambiguity with LR, RN and Reconquête adopting similar stances on immigration and the primacy of national law.
• Les Républicains party could face a momentous choice for their survival if the June scrutiny once again proves disastrous and misses the 5% threshold.
• The RN's president, Jordan Bardella, is emerging as a strong favourite by hunting in LR territories.
• The young leaders of the three parties appear to be preparing for the future with less reservation than their predecessors.

Conclusion: An apparent rapprochement between right-wing factions with ideological convergences is starting to materialize openly. This could mark a key moment in the French political arena.
