Weakened by their score of 7.07% in the first round of the presidential election, the executives of Reconquête! are gradually taking a stand on their commitment to the June election.
The horizon brightens. Still stunned by its presidential result, Éric Zemmour’s party is trying to put itself in battle order for the next legislative elections. With 555 candidates throughout the territory, the young movement hopes to make itself known at the local level. But above all, start receiving public funds: 1% of the votes in at least 50 constituencies makes it possible to obtain initial funding. It is in this context that the spokesperson for Reconquête! Stanislas Rigault, aged 23, will indeed fight in the second constituency of Vaucluse, according to information fromEurope1 , confirmed by Le Figaro. The president of Generation Z, the youth branch of Éric Zemmour, was able to stand out for his strong presence and media ease during the campaign.

If the latter had been contacted by the boss of the RN Jordan Bardella to be invested by the party to the flame, Stanislas Rigault had rejected the proposal, preferring to make the choice of loyalty. It must be said that the Vaucluse had placed Marine Le Pen in the lead in the first round of the presidential election with 29.43% of the votes, but also winner in the second with 52% of the votes. Eric Zemmour, he had collected only 10.03%. “It is the extension of the presidential campaign. I hope to carry this candidacy as best as I can, with my youth and my desire to do lots of things. indicates the candidate to AFP.
Zemmour has not yet revealed its intentions
Another clarification, the one made for Marion Maréchal. The one who had joined Éric Zemmour in early March, to the chagrin of his aunt Marine Le Pen, will ultimately not be a contender for deputation. And this, in spite of her own reflections on the subject which she had explained in confidences to the Figaro at the beginning of the year. The announcement was made Monday by Bertrand de la Chesnais, coordinator of Reconquest! in the Vaucluse. “Today, that’s it, his decision is made. We can understand it because indeed a pregnancy is not anything in the life of a woman”, indicates the former campaign manager of Éric Zemmour on France Bleu, in “regretting» this non-candidacy.
As for Éric Zemmour himself, he is not out of the woods yet. On BFMTV last Monday, the former presidential contender specified that he was “very temptedby a new electoral battle. “Could I show up in a riding to help all my comrades who are on the bridge?asked the nationalist leader.
