Stéphane Ravier will do the presidential campaign alongside Eric Zemmour, the candidate of the far-right Reconquest party. The senator Rassemblement National des Bouches-du-Rhône affirms it, this Sunday morning, on Europe 1. “They [ses idées] are no longer worn by Marine Le Pen and they are worn by Eric Zemmour. From there, it is obviously coherent, logical, to support Eric Zemmour. I will therefore support Eric Zemmour in this presidential campaign.explains the elected Marseille.
Ravier goes all the same grant sponsorship to the candidate of the National Rally, as he had assured earlier in the week. He specifies that this gesture for the RN is valid for “any account balance”. The Marseillais leaves the party for which he has been campaigning for 30 years.
For several weeks, tension has been mounting within the RN group in Marseille. Four elected officials had withdrawn from the municipal group, Tuesday, February 1, after Sophie Grech announced her rallying to Eric Zemmour. Stéphane Ravier then launched his micro-party Marseille first, this Friday. He had welcomed Eric Zemmour during his eventful visit to Marseille in November 2021.
