Eric Zemmour announces to exclude Marion Maréchal from his party, Reconquest

The former head of the party’s European list had announced a few hours earlier that she was calling to vote for the candidates supported by the National Rally in the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7.

New earthquake to the right of the right. The president of Reconquête, Eric Zemmour, announced on Wednesday June 12 the exclusion from the party of its head of list in the European elections, Marion Maréchal. Invited on the set of BFM TV, he denounced a “treason” of the MEP who had just called to vote for the candidates supported by the National Rally in the early legislative elections which will be held on June 30 and July 7.

“She excludes herself from this party that she has always despised,” continued the 2022 presidential candidate on BFMTV, accusing his ex-ally of “lie” and to be “surrounded by professionals of treason”.

During a press briefing held a little earlier, Marion Maréchal was very offensive towards the president of her party, denouncing the “triple fault” of Eric Zemmour who she accuses of wanting to present Reconquest candidates against the RN. “Presenting Reconquest candidates in legislative constituencies means taking the infinite risk of winning Macronist or far-left deputies”she said, noting the divide with Eric Zemmour.

She was accompanied by Guillaume Peltier and Nicolas Bay, vice-presidents of Reconquête, and Laurence Trochu. The three, as well as Marion Maréchal, were elected Reconquest MEPs on Sunday. “They should hand in their mandate, there are four MEPs who betray all our activists 48 hours later [leur élection]. This is the world record for treason.”launched Eric Zemmour, refuting the accusations of his former allies. “I affirm that Reconquest and I are ready to withdraw candidates in the event of an agreement with the RN, the LR and all other parties of good will“, he wrote on X, saying to himself “disgusted and hurt”.
