The candidate for the National Rally (RN) at the Elysee Palace, Marine Le Pen, called on Sunday, November 28, the far-right polemicist Eric Zemmour, convicted of incitement to racial hatred, to join his candidacy.
“In general, the transformation from polemicist into presidential candidate has not happened”, she told the “Grand Jury” LCI-RTL-Le Figaro. He “does not seem very comfortable in this exercise”, she added, alluding to the heckled trip of the polemicist to Marseille, which ended with an exchange of fingers of honor with a resident.
Eric Zemmour, who could announce his candidacy for the Elysee Palace in the next few days, launched in September in the pre-campaign “on a promise which was that of being able to beat Emmanuel Macron and therefore to bring together more people than me. This promise, today, clearly, it is not kept “, she added.
According to her, Eric Zemmour “does not add any additional value to our ideas. I therefore believe that it is time to bring together now”.
“It is now clear that if he is not a candidate, I will be in front of Emmanuel Macron in the first round. Considering the fact that in the second, I am given at 46%, I think that the national family has the possibility of to win”, she added, with reference to the latest Ifop-Fiducial poll published on Sunday in the Sunday newspaper.
