Ex-communist activist

Communist militant for 36 years, José Evrard had left the Communist Party to join the National Front in 2014 "for notions of sovereignty and national independence", considering himself "betrayed on his commitments".

He had won for the FN the 3rd district of Pas-de-Calais, by 52.94% of the vote, in June 2017 against the Modem Patrick Debruyne.

He then joined the Patriots in November 2017, a decision qualified as "treason" by the FN.

A postman by training before becoming a permanent member of the Communist Party in Lens for 15 years, this native of Cauchy-à-la-Tour, had made a final shift by joining in 2019 the Debout France party of Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.

The President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand, shared his “heartfelt and united thoughts” with his relatives in a tweet.
