Born in 1961, Martial Bild was member of the Party of New Forces between 1979 and 1981, and joined the National Front (FN) in 1980.[1] He studied history at Tolbiac university but dropped out, then obtained a DEUG in history at the Institut catholique de Paris.[2]

Views

He considers real equality "at the origin of ideologies dismissing democracy, and the source of misery and the Terror."[10] On nationalism, he says that it is "not dangerous—there is not sentiment of hatred. On the contrary the rallying of peoples is good, emphasising the equality of men, and has nothing to do with hating other people. Rather, the nation is fundamental and natural."[11] He belongs to the "national-catholic" wing of the far-right and is opposed to French laws on abortion.[12]
