faced with rumors of dissension at the summit of Reconquête, Marion Maréchal underlines a common “obsession” with Éric Zemmour, “to make the best score on June 9”

On this campaign weekend two months before the Europeans, Éric Zemmour shares the stage in Palavas-les-Flots with Nicolas Bay. Marion Maréchal held another meeting of her own. Separate public meetings which revive rumors of tensions between the party leader and his head of list.

Éric Zemmour and Marion Maréchal do not agree on the campaign strategy for the European elections, if we are to believe the multiple articles on the subject, which tend to annoy party activists, like Paul. He accuses the media of “to attack Éric Zemmour” : they invent “pretexts”, talk about “conflict with Marion Maréchal”. But “basically, Éric Zemmour and Marion Maréchal get along”, he assures.

When we ask the question to the main interested party, Marion Maréchal, she does not deny the strategic differences, but she assures her, the dialogue is not broken with her party president. “We discuss and when we disagree, we think about the most intelligent way to find a compromise.”

“We are both driven by one thing : ensure that the 9 Next June, Reconquest gets the best score and sends the maximum number of elected officials.”

“It’s our only obsession!, ensures the top of the list. Sometimes we have debates about the best way to get there. It’s logical and useful. And in the end we arrive at a compromise.”

The RN at the origin of the friction

Main divergence: the attitude to adopt towards the National Rally. Marion Maréchal refuses to directly attack her former political family. Granddaughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, niece of Marine Le Pen, she explains to activists that her Reconquest list is complementary to that of the RN. “Everything indicates that both the group of the National Rally ID and the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) group of Reconquest will be led to have common votes and to build common majorities on a certain number of subjects, she says. If we find the necessary path in the European Parliament to have influence, I hope that tomorrow we will find the path to work together in France.” she wishes.

Éric Zemmour continues to hit Marine le Pen and her troops as he did during the presidential campaign. Except that this distribution of roles had not really been concerted. Today the party officials ensure that the violins are in tune. We can point out the differences without criticizing the competitors by name.

Example with this speech by Guillaume Peltier, executive vice-president of the party: “She is the only one who has never opposed immigration, Islamization and welfarehe defends. Economically right-wing, staunchly patriotic. The only one to speak to you without shame about both Islamization and welfare which are the two evils that are gnawing away at our country.” Reconquest thus hopes to caress an electorate tempted by a vote in favor of Jordan Bardella.
