What party does Lassalle mostly align with?

# data[].attributes.body
Through the years, Lassalle has been through 3 different political parties, and those were previously Union for French Democracy, & Democratic Movement. His current party would be Résistons, which he founded.

# data[].attributes.body
While most of our other candidates haven't had anything too recently that could receive backlash, Lassalle was involved with a passenger train delima mid September of 2020. He parked his car on a crossing that obstructed a passenger train, to which he received tons of backlash for by multiple media outlets. Which no fines or charges were pressed, I feel he made an ill-timed joke about how none of it would've happened had he been chauffeured.

# data[].attributes.body
Lassalle has held two offices prior to the 2022 election, and those would be as a Member of the National Assembly
for Pyrénées-Atlantiques's 4th constituency (16th June 2002 - Incumbent) & Mayor of Lourdios-Ichère (26th March 1977 – 16th July 2017).

Lassalle isn't feeling very hopeful about this upcoming election. His quote about the turnout is:  "Macron will be reelected as things stand. The financial powers that have taken over our country have already decided that".

Emmanuel Macron has been a part of the party "La République En Marche!" since 2016, but he does not hold a relatively significant position in the party itself.
