The scenario of a far-right alliance fizzled out. Marion Maréchal deplored, Tuesday June 11, “a change of position” of the RN which “refuses the very principle of an agreement” with his party, Reconquest, as part of the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7. “Despite my attempts at negotiation, the regrettable argument put forward to me (is) that they do not want any direct or indirect association with Eric Zemmour”explained in a press release the one who led the Zemmourist list in the European elections.

Monday, Marion Maréchal met Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen at the RN headquarters. At the end of this interview, the president of the flame party emphasized that his yesterday’s competitor had “demonstrated throughout the campaign a constructive approach and attitude towards the National Rally”while sliding that it had “not the case for Eric Zemmour”.

Marion Maréchal, for her part, expressed her “ardent wish” of “find a way to bring us together” with the Lepenist party. She had to “discuss it” Tuesday afternoon with Eric Zemmour, the president of his Reconquest party, against a backdrop of notorious enmity between the two parties. “As we were about to finalize an agreement providing for the representation of the 1.4 million Reconquest voters in the European elections in a legislative coalition, Jordan Bardella informed me [mardi] afternoon of a change of position”she wrote in her press release.

“This sudden and contradictory decision with our numerous discussions and preparatory work does not live up to the events and the hope aroused among the French”she added.
