According to a latest poll, the LR candidate for the presidential election has just been overtaken by the candidate of the Reconquête! Valérie Pécresse now falls to 12%, seven points less than in December, after her inauguration by her party. A new disappointment for the candidate to which her spokesperson Othman Nasrou returns on Sunday morning.
If Marine Le Pen remains in second position in terms of voting intentions in the presidential election, behind Emmanuel Macron, according to a poll carried out by BVA for RTL published on Friday, the candidate Les Républicains (LR) is slowly moving away from first place. She has just fallen to fourth position, just behind Éric Zemmour. Guest of Europe 1 / Cnews on Sunday, Othman Nasrou, vice-president of the Île-de-France region and spokesperson for the candidate, returned to the political battle being played out on the right. “Éric Zemmour is Emmanuel Macron’s life insurance,” he said.
“The only ministry he led was that of speech”
“We can see it, Emmanuel Macron dreams of this face-to-face with Marine Le Pen or Éric Zemmour because he is sure to win the second round”, he continued. While victory would be much less certain in the face of a duel with Valérie Pécresse, slips Othman Nasrou. The president of the Île-de-France region “is there to embody a real change in the daily life of the French”, he launched.
Except that for several weeks, candidate LR has also been facing defections in her camp. Éric Woerth and Natacha Bouchart have joined Emmanuel Macron while Guillaume Peltier and Nicolas Dhuicq have joined the ranks of Éric Zemmour. One more disappointment for Valérie Pécresse who seems to be paying for her highly criticized meeting at the Zénith de Paris.
For Othman Nasrou, the candidate of the Reconquest! does not have the arms to lead a country. “Éric Zemmour has never run anything. Not a community, not a town hall, not even a company,” he said. “The only ministry he led was that of speech,” he added.
