The head of France’s national hunters’ lobby on Tuesday launched a new political party to “defend the countryside” in next year’s European election — a move that could steal votes from right-wing parties looking to capitalize on backlash to the Green Deal. The small list of candidates “will get a big score,” Willy Schraen predicted at a press conference Tuesday in Paris, where he outlined the goals of his new party, which will not only gather hunters but also fishermen, farmers and small entrepreneurs.Dubbed the Rural Alliance, the party will fight to protect the interests of traditional rural occupations — like farming, fishing and hunting — and push back against the “administrative burden” created by EU institutions in Brussels that is “choking” rural communities, he said. Claiming that he is not out to steal votes from France’s far-right National Rally — which has also courted the farmer’s vote — Schraen nevertheless said he wo...
