The Animalist Party (French : Parti animaliste) is a French political party focused on animal rights and against cruelty to animals. [4]
For the 2022 French legislative election, the party presented 421 candidates in the first round of this election, with the primary objective not of obtaining seats but of highlighting the theme of the animal cause in France. [5]
| Election year | Votes | % | Seats | +/− |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 63,637 | 0.28 | 0 / 577 | |
| 2022 [6] | 255 712 | 1.12 | 0 / 577 |
Any vote received brings in 1,42 € per year for the five years of the mandate. With its 63,637 votes, the animalist party has thus benefited from a total of 45,000 € in subsidies for the last five years. The money earned in 2022 is expected to be much higher. [7]

On the French Left, six candidates are running to become president of France. Neither Christiane Taubira, François Hollande's former justice minister, nor the Trotskyist Annasse Kazib, nor Hélène Thouy of the Animalist Party managed to obtain the 500 signatures from elected representatives, the key for admission to the presidential race.
