Conor McGregor will run for the Irish presidency in elections later this year, the controversial former fighter said on Thursday, as he announced his candidacy for the largely ceremonial role on an anti-immigration stance.
McGregor, who in recent years has emerged as a figurehead for the far-right in Ireland, said on social media that he would run for president to oppose a long-awaited new European Union migration pact aimed at sharing the burden of processing asylum claims more evenly across the bloc.
He posted on Instagram who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill? Adding any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them.
McGregor stated that he will!!
