The candidate “Reconquest! was invited, Tuesday, March 29, on Europe 1. After commenting on his Trocadéro meeting, he called for a union of the rights and said he still believed in the second round.
On Europe 1, Éric Zemmour started by defending himself from the slogan “Macron assassin! Shouted by some activists on the sidelines of his meeting on Sunday March 27, sliding a tackle to Emmanuel Macron in passing: “I really didn’t hear him. Macron may not know it because he has never held an open-air meeting in front of a hundred thousand people, but you don’t hear anything where you are. Basically, because he may use a mocking tone showing contempt for the French, I was talking about victims of crime and Islamism. »
He then continued his attack on the president-candidate: “He has nothing to do with the suffering of the French, he doesn’t care […] Yes there is excessive shouting, obviously. What I’m saying is that it’s serious for what he is and what he hasn’t done. The far-right candidate then added: “I stop because I hear vague noises and it interrupts my rhythm and I adapt. Macron decided to make fun of the suffering of French people massacred by jihadists and illegal immigrants because French justice did not condemn as it should. »
For him, the French have “reason to be furious” and he also responded to journalists who relayed this slogan by declaring: “This controversy is completely oversized. I was a journalist for thirty years and I understand why people hate journalists […] We cling to words, but there are facts. »
Éric Zemmour made a distinction between outdoor meetings and those in the halls: “In general, I stop them. I would have stopped and then continued. As in closed rooms. I understand that the media tries to protect Emmanuel Macron while I am insulted daily. When my activists are attacked, who rebels? Who asks Mélenchon not to support and condemn them? »
“Madame Le Pen is a socialist in economics,” he said.
Journalist Sonia Mabrouk also asked him about the “Trocadéro right”, to which the former journalist replied that he was speaking “to the French” and that “the Trocadéro right is a right of the right, which has had enough of be betrayed by so-called right-wing leaders who are in truth centrists. I wrote about it and I can see it every day. For him, he is “the only right-wing candidate […] Madame Pécresse will call for Macron to vote and Madame Le Pen is a socialist in economics and does not dare to say a word that displeases the media doxa. »
Does he believe in the second round? Does he think it’s still possible despite increasingly mixed polls about him? “I speak with pollsters and they are lost because the abstention completely distorts their forecasts. I am the one who makes the biggest and the most beautiful meetings, the one who has the most audience on television, that counts. François Fillon’s meeting, there were fewer people than at home and he made 20%. »
Banking on a candidacy that defends “purchasing power and the end of the month”, the candidate “Reconquest! said he was “the only candidate who cares about the end of France”. He also appealed to the disappointed RN: “I tell them that I am the only one who will implement my program. Marine Le Pen won’t say the words, so she won’t do anything. Let’s imagine that she reaches the second round on April 10. Does she have a rallying of the LR right? No, so it will start again like in 2017: Macron will beat Le Pen and LR will keep his shop. »
For him, it’s simple: “The evening of the first round, people like Ciotti, Bellamy, will call to vote for me because they will not be able to call to vote Macron. This is LR’s great fear, moreover, and we will make a big move with the RN and LR. There will be a recomposition of the right. »
