Born in
Marseille, daughter of
Algerian immigrants parents, Malika Sorel-Sutter completed her primary and secondary studies in the
French educational system. She moved to
Algeria when she was 10 years old and returned to France at 25. She is an engineer from
École Polytechnique d'Algiers and has an
MBA from
Sciences Po (1996). After working in executive recruiting for the
high-tech sector, she began writing about social issues, such as
immigration issues and about
French foreign policy. On 4 September 2009, she was appointed, by
Nicolas Sarkozy, as a member of the
Superior Council for Integration created by
Michel Rocard in 1989, a position she held until the dissolution of this council by
François Hollande on 24 December 2012. N. Beau, associate professor at the
Maghreb Institute at Paris University, notes that her positions are published on sites such as, among others,
Riposte Laïque, and that his blog is regularly cited by
far-right sites, which the identity bloc “gives its panegyric” and qualifies it as a “fundamentalist of secularism”. On 24 March 2024, Malika Sorel announces that she will join the
National Rally list led by
Jordan Bardella for the
2024 European elections, as second in the RN list. == References ==
