The rag is burning. Nicolas Bay, spokesperson for Reconquest, returned this Thursday to CNEWS on the refusal of the RN to form an alliance with Eric Zemmour in view of the legislative elections. “Marine Le Pen wants above all to preserve the interests of her movement (…). We must go beyond that to serve those of France, ”he regretted.
A vitriolic statement against his former party. However, Nicolas Bay did not skimp on the arguments in favor of a union between the National Rally and Reconquest, for the legislative elections.
“It’s not a one-on-one with the National Rally, it goes beyond that, it’s a way of saying that we can come together on the essentials because it’s the national interest that order it”, justified the MEP.
“Can we go beyond that to serve the interests of France?”
Nicolas Bay criticized what he calls “reactions from grocers, shopkeepers who think of their small share of the gift”, while ensuring that “94% of Eric Zemmour’s voters and 75% of Marine Le Pen’s voters want this gathering”. A statement in total contradiction with the survey of the CSA institute for CNEWS published this Thursday, April 28, indicating that 66% of French people believe that the candidate of the National Rally in the presidential election should not ally with the leader of Reconquête .
Subsequently, the former vice-president of the RN strongly criticized the attitude of his former party, refusing to form an alliance with Éric Zemmour in view of the legislative elections. “Why the RN remains in a posture of closed doors, it is because it wants above all to preserve the interests of its movement. Can we go beyond that to serve the interests of France?
As a reminder, Nicolas Bay had been suspended by the party led by Jordan Bardella, accusing him of transmitting information to Eric Zemmour’s team. The next day, he announced his support for the former journalist for the presidential election. He was finally named Executive Vice President of Reconquest.
This Thursday morning, invited on the set of Laurence Ferrari, the president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella indicated that the RN “could withdraw for the patriot candidate in the second round of the legislative elections”. Games of alliance between the two parties do not therefore seem impossible, provided they agree.
