Four months before the presidential election, the difficult and strange campaign led by candidate Éric Zemmour. Strange, because it turns out that the far-right candidate seems to avoid the spontaneous walkabouts, usually popular with any candidate. Why such avoidance?
Eric Zemmour’s postcard from Alsace. First trip in contact with the French as a candidate. Hello to his supporters from a balcony. And walkabout at a Christmas market. His relatives do not hide their satisfaction. Their will: above all not to relive the scuffles in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis) or the boos in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). Decryption of this communication operation in Alsace.
The new rule: no more big cities, direction rural France, far from anti-fascist militants. No question of bringing the chief to hostile ground. “The idea is that it is really safe in our beautiful Alsace, that we can really simply present him the best of our region “, says Anthony Thoma, Deputy Manager of Generation Z – Haut-Rhin. The other rule to avoid the presence of opponents: secrecy. For the Christmas market, the location was given to the press at the very last moment. This time, no hostile reaction to Eric Zemmour, a candidate like no other. He must flee the ultra-left to campaign. And to get closer to the French, it is moving away from the metropolises.
