RN activist Louise Montangon joins student mobilisation in France

Louise Montangon, a student in Bordeaux and local head of the right-wing student union UNI, has made media appearances during the student mobilisation in France. A National Rally candidate in the March municipal elections, she notably debated Gabriel Attal on LCI, according to Blick.

Louise Montangon, a National Rally (RN) activist and local head of the National Inter-University Union (UNI), appeared on LCI on 7 October in response to Elwan, a Parisian secondary school student who went viral at the start of the student mobilisation in France, Blick reports. Aged 22, she is studying for a master’s degree in philosophy in Bordeaux and stood as an RN candidate in the March municipal elections.

The student mobilisation has spread across France since the beginning of October 2026. Teachers’ unions have called a strike for 8 October, while Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has postponed the announcement of the first measures until the end of the month.
