Thirty-two-year-old Julien Rochedy is a former rising star in French politics. As a member of the Front National, the young Ardéchois achieved his highest responsibilities by becoming Marine Le Pen's political advisor for the 2012 presidential campaign, and then by becoming director of the Front National de la Jeunesse the same year. However, the ideological evolution of Marine Le Pen and the party gradually disgusted him - as he explains in a long-form video posted on his YouTube channel. So, in 2014, Julien Rochedy gave up all political involvement. Today, he is fully committed to metapolitics, where, he says, the aim is to lead the fight on the terrain of ideas. To this end, he publishes books, gives lectures and posts videos on the Internet. It was on the internet, without knowing anything about his political commitment, that I discovered Julien Rochedy before asking him for an interview.
