A choice take for Eric Zemmour’s campaign. The deputy and former vice-president of the Republicans, Guillaume Peltier, announced Sunday, January 9 on Europe 1 and CNews, that he was joining the far-right candidate for the presidential election. “I made the decision to support the only candidate of the right, the only candidate of the RPR, I join Eric Zemmour”, declared the elected representative of Loir-et-Cher.
“I made my decision with great seriousness and enthusiasm, assured Guillaume Peltier. I was number two in the Republicans, spokesperson for Nicolas Sarkozy, and on behalf of the 40% of LR members who voted like me for Eric Ciotti, I decided to support Eric Zemmour to be our next president of the Republic.”
Shortly after this announcement, Eric Zemmour’s campaign team announced that Guillaume Peltier would be named spokesperson for the far-right candidate. For his part, the President of the Republicans, Christian Jacob, announced his exclusion from the party.
At the beginning of December, Guillaume Peltier had made waves in his camp by wondering “how to remain insensitive to speech” by Eric Zemmour after the polemicist’s first candidate meeting. He was then removed from his post as vice-president of the Republicans. At the end of May 2021, he had also insured “carry the same convictions” as the mayor of Béziers, Robert Ménard, close to the National Rally.
