He had attempted to run for office in 2007 but was unable to get the necessary 500 signatures.

When he was running in 2017 he was not invited to the first of the presidential debates, so he left prematurely calling it a “lack of democracy.” I think that he is an interesting candidate with a great amount of experience in politics as well as economics. Nicolas himself is worth 2 million euros and was born in France, he lives with his wife and two children. He is an interesting figure that describes himself as a gaullist, meaning someone who is pragmatic with their power.
