After methodically targeting Marine Le Pen, Eric Zemmour will focus the fire on his LR rival Valérie Pécresse. Start of the cannonade on Sunday in Lille.
The flies will change donkeys according to the favorite expression of rugby fans. For Eric Zemmour and his friends, this means that the campaign will change direction. No more repeated attacks against the Lepenist camp. Make way for the Republican candidate as the preferred target. “There is nothing more to take on the RN side,” said Guillaume Peltier, new spokesperson for candidate Zemmour. He took ten points from Marine Le Pen. The room for maneuver is on the other side”. At the headquarters of the “Reconquest!” party, we repeat over and over that “Zemmour is better than Pécresse on the regal and that he has an ideological vision – identity and great replacement – that she does not have”.
If the boss of the Ile-de-France region is ahead of their champion in the polls, supporters of Eric Zemmour are convinced that she will “unscrew” and “finish fourth or fifth”. For this, they decided to concentrate the shooting on the only Valérie Pécresse by abandoning the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen. We have therefore not finished hearing the friends of the former pen of “Figaro” assert on television sets that Valérie Pécresse is “more chiraquian than Sarkozyist”; that she knows nothing about rural France, that she is bad at meetings etc, etc…. So many reversible arguments…
In the meantime, Eric Zemmour intends to make up for his presumed delay in the economic and social field where he is dominated by the former Minister of the Budget, considered to be more competent. Next Sunday in Lille, the candidate of the radical right wants to give a big speech on his economic and social vision. “He will defend a liberal, quasi-revolutionary vision to liberate the interior of the country, with a framework of measures borrowing from both Fillon and Poujade. On the external level, that is to say at European level, the candidate will take up Séguin’s speech, ”says a member of the team.
Zemmour/Blanquer debate on February 21
Another “flaw” in Valérie Pécresse that Eric Zemmour’s friends want to exploit: the debates on TV. For the moment, their candidate accepts them all and occupies the chair on the right left vacant by Valérie Pécresse who refuses them all. Monday February 21, the polemicist will face Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer for a contest on BFMTV on school and culture.
Finally, the gun-bearers of the candidate Zemmour do not hesitate to peddle the little nasty things – true or false – pronounced behind closed doors in his office by Nicolas Sarkozy. The ex would not appreciate in private the campaign of the candidate of his party and in particular the use of his formula on the “Karchër” without having been warned. To check if the arguments of the Zemmour camp will be enough to gain credibility.
