Just over 60 days from the presidential election, an open-air primary is currently being played out between Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour. The tone has changed, it is now zero tolerance between the two candidates. Saturday February 5 was a remote meeting day, on the one hand Reims (Marl), from the other Lille (North). Two rooms, two ambitions.
Same solemn staging, and same determination displayed. On one side in Lille (North), Éric Zemmour for the second big meeting of his campaign. Two hours later in Reims (Marl), Marine Le Pen, for the official launch of her third presidential election. A ranged combat, which is first played on the podium, with two similar strategies. Neither of them pronounced the name of the other, and the themes addressed come together.
On purchasing power, with two important measures, a zero charge bonus for Éric Zemmour and salary increases for Marine Le Pen. But the two do not forget their common obsession: Islam and immigration. Saturday, February 5, it was also a battle of image and figures. On the Éric Zemmour side, 8,000 spectators claimed, twice as many as the 4,000 on the Marine Le Pen side. But it proudly displays around thirty buses bearing its effigy which will now travel across France. Between the supporters of the two camps, the rivalry is displayed.
