In question, the logo chosen by the candidate Eric Zemmour, with graphics very (too?) close to that used since 2016 by the MP from Béarn, also campaigning for the presidential election of April 10 and 24.
After having sent a letter of formal notice to his competitor on January 14, Jean Lassalle this time claims in summary proceedings (emergency) to “have any competent bailiff of his choice carry out seizure operations counterfeiting, because of the risk of loss of evidence and the urgency”.
Jean Lassalle says he is “more determined than ever” to lead this fight in the middle of an “infamous, disgusting campaign, where three furious madmen are fighting to find out who will be the most right-wing”, he says about Eric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen and Valérie Pécresse. “If I wasn’t a candidate, I wouldn’t know who to vote for! And I can’t stand Zemmour’s attitudes. However, I had known him before…”
It targets national media, “where it has 99% of the audience”. “At this rate, they will succeed in getting me below 0%! So when they take away your colors, a symbol, it’s not possible. I will fight, even after the elections. »
A search would be the first sneer for Zemmour, it would do him the greatest good!
The Béarnais hopes that the judge or judges will order a search of the headquarters of Reconquête! : “It would be the first sniffle for Zemmour, it would do him the greatest good! »
“They don’t look alike at all”
On the side of Eric Zemmour’s party, it was impossible for us to join the national campaign team. Arnaud Humbert, representative in New Aquitaine of Reconquête!, explains that the case was decided internally: “Our team of lawyers is handling the file. If we decide to keep the logo, it’s because we know there’s no copying, no confusion, so no harm. The logos don’t look alike at all, and people won’t confuse a party with 100,000 members with a small party that only exists at the local level. Jean Lassalle is not the owner of the letter ”r”! Maybe he’s trying to make some money out of this affair, at least we don’t hear about it nationally. It’s not a subject. »
