Valérie Pécresse took up the theory of the extreme right of the “great replacement”, during her meeting on Sunday February 13 in Paris. A little sentence that did not fail to make people talk…
“No fatality, neither to the big downgrading, nor to the big replacement”. This sentence, pronounced on Sunday February 13 by Valérie Pécresse during her meeting at the Zenith in Paris, was very noticed. The “great replacement” is a far-right conspiracy theory, and the totem of Éric Zemmour’s campaign. “I hate this expression because it gives the feeling that everything is screwed”said Valérie Pécresse three months ago, during the primary of her party.
On the morning of Monday February 14, on RTL, she tried to extinguish the controversy. “The sentence is: ‘I do not resign myself to the great downgrading or the great replacement’, it means ‘I do not resign myself, precisely, to the theories of Éric Zemmour and to the theories of the extreme right“, she advanced. For his part, the candidate of “Reconquest!” in the presidential election relishes. “Look, now even Valérie Pécresse uses these words. It was I who imposed this term in the presidential campaign”he boasts.
