The rebellious candidate wished “thank all elected officials” who sponsored him and “do their duty”. He himself will give his sponsorship to a candidate on the left “who stays on the sand”.

“All the teams have been on the pitch for weeks and weeks. Not everyone is as old a trained warrior as I am, so there was a lot of angst around me”, he acknowledges. The MP for Bouches-du-Rhône adds that he would be shocked if Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour, who do not yet have enough sponsorships, cannot stand in the presidential election, because “they represent a current of opinion” and because he “wants Mrs. Le Pen and Mr. Zemmour to be beaten at the ballot box so that the whole world sees that France is not a xenophobic and racist country”.

He will not give them his sponsorship, however, preferring Philippe Poutou (NPA) or Hélène Thouy (Parti animaliste). He still gives himself time to think about who to sponsor.
