Hervé Juvin

Hervé Juvin (; born 29 January 1956) is a French essayist and politician who was elected a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) on the National Rally (RN) list in 2019. He sat with Identity and Democracy (ID) until 2022, when he was expelled after being sentenced for domestic abuse.

He is author of a number of books, including The Coming of the Body, which examines the effects of longer human life spans on society and the individual.

Environmental strategy Hervé Juvin brought an environmental strategy to the National Rally party (Rassemblement National, RN). He subscribes to the Nouvelle Droite movement, a far-right French political movement often identified with neo-fascist tendencies. The European Parliament member's approach to ecology reflects the core principles of this ideology, which is why his environmental views are often associated with the ecofascist tendency.

He met with Marine Le Pen, leader of the RN at a conference in 2016 and started drafting the ideas about climate change that the party was going to embrace. The core is based on the belief in "cultural diversity and commitment to localism".

Juvin believes that safeguarding national borders is essential not only for political reasons but also for ecological reasons, as it helps to preserve the distinctiveness of human cultures and societies. He believes in the "ecology of civilizations" rooted in nativism:

That is related to the conservation of the biodiversity in the country and then is translated into the rejection of immigration and globalization, making an analogy with "invasive species" that can threaten "local habitats", the to-be preserved diversity, and national identity and heritage. The solution to this problem for him is to embrace national sovereignty:

Jauvin also stands for a conservative tendency regards to economy because he criticizes the free-trade agreements that represent the liberal and globalization currents. This relates to his view on ecology because this model leads to agglomerations of industrial and service parks, all of which are increasingly subject to regulatory capture, meaning they are being more and more influenced or controlled by the industries they are supposed to regulate.
