His message, posted on Twitter, did not go unnoticed this Sunday evening. The former number 2 of the Republicans, Guillaume Peltier, deputy for Loir-et-Cher, commented in his terms on the first campaign speech of the presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, with whom he does not hide his proximity: “how to remain insensitive to the speech for France of Eric Zemmour?”
Guillaume Peltier, also departmental councilor of Loir-et-Cher, voted for Eric Ciotti, who obtained 39% of the votes of the party’s members during the LR congress which saw Valérie Pécresse be nominated presidential candidate 2022, this Saturday. Guillaume Peltier “assumes to know Eric Zemmour for fifteen years” and of “see him regularly “.
This tweet from Guillaume Peltier caused a reaction, especially on the left: the socialist from Orleans Fanny Pidoux, former regional councilor (2015-2021), who sat “at the same time” as Guillaume Peltier in the Region, believes that “the dikes are giving way before our eyes”, while EELV leader Sandra Regol signs: “RIP the right and its history”
Already this week, the former leader of the right and the center at the Center-Val de Loire regional council had published a press release “support for freedom of expression” before Eric Zemmour’s meeting, denouncing the petition launched by the socialist president of the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis against the holding of this meeting in Villepinte.
