“It’s quite natural.” Jean-Marie Le Pen, historical figure of the extreme right, said on Sunday January 30 on LCI, support his daughter, Marine Le Pen, in the race for the Elysée. This statement comes as the candidate of the National Rally for the presidential election is confronted with defections in his camp in favor of Eric Zemmour and with hesitations from Marion Maréchal.
Even if he is “not engaged in the actual electoral campaign”Jean-Marie Le Pen, 93, confided his feelings towards the former polemicist. “I have sympathy for Eric (Zemmour). There is no problem”, did he declare. The founder of the National Front has also minimized the rallies to Eric Zemmour, ensuring that “treason is a habit in politics”.
Jean-Marie Le Pen then returned to the hesitations of Marion Maréchal. “It happens that people have divergent opinions. It is unfortunate that this is in the course of the electoral campaign and I understand that Marine Le Pen is shocked by it all the same. Passions prevail over reason”he estimated.
