The defeat is cooked for Eric Zemmour, who had continued to ensure that he would be present in the second round of the presidential election. “Then, he said again on April 5, I will be president of the Republic, leader of the opposition.” With 7.05% of the votes in the first round, Sunday, April 10, the extreme right candidate, who was wrongly betting on “a hidden vote” ignored surveys, has the sole consolation of having done better than the candidate Republicans (LR), Valérie Pécresse. “Yes, we are disappointed but we have won something that does not price: power, and experience,” reassured the former journalist, before calling to vote for his rival of the national gathering (Rn), however, never spared.
“I have any disagreements with Marine Le Pen, but I’m not mistaken, there is opposite a man who made more than 2 million foreigners, who did not have A word about security, immigration, and who will do worse. I call my voters to vote Marine Le Pen! “In the great hall of the house of Mutuality, in Paris, hundreds of activists shouted with happiness – Marion Marshal had announced a few minutes before that there was “no hesitation to have”.
Eric Zemmour acknowledged that he had “failed to convince enough of our compatriots. The story will say why, while the French agree mostly with our ideas”. Perhaps because “the treatment that was reserved for me, from the international situation, and may also be, by my fault” (“No, no, no!”, Chanting activists.) “Of course, I ‘ I made mistakes, took over the old journalist, I assume them all. But I have the pride of not being a politician, I never lied to win a point in the polls. “

The polemicist already pays his identity obsessions, on the “great replacement” of the French by immigrant populations, while the purchasing power remains the first concern for 57% of the French, according to the Ipsos-Sopra Steria survey of March 18 for Le Monde. Immigration is only fifth of worries, in 24% of voters. The candidate understood him, but a little late in the countryside, while Marine Le Pen plowed the ground on this theme.
The other substantive error of the candidate holds in his bet of “the union of the rights”, an old moon he claimed to be the only one to be able to realize. It seems, it seems, not managed to bring together “the patriotic bourgeoisie”, apart from a portion of Fillieres of 2017 and Catholics of the Manif for All, nor “the popular classes”, remained for the essential loyal to Marine Le Pen. His party reconquest! Already showed this weakness: Eric Zemmour has actually built a new national gathering on the right of the RN, where the rallies of the Party the Republicans are rare: a dark senator, sebastien dying, a former deputy unknown, Nicolas Dhuicq, and especially Guillaume Peltier, the former number two of LR, who is, a rallied of several successive parties: former National Front, the MNR of Bruno Mégret, MPF from Philippe de Villiers, then from the UMP.
