All the components of the right together in the same place, including the presidential majority. Tuesday evening was the evening of the “great debate on values”, carried by the weekly Current Values at the Palais des Sports in Paris. The personalities followed one another at the desk to exchange with the pundits of the newspaper. An evening full of contrasts, difficult for Valérie Pécresse, almost triumphant for Éric Zemmour. In front of more than 4,000 people, comedian Gaspard Proust introduced the evening.
“In the brief given to me by the guys at Current Valuesthey said to me ‘Well what would be important is that you put people at ease, that there is no favoritism for one or the other political stable and that at at the end, everyone goes home saying to themselves, ‘Basically, Zemmour is right'”, he said.
Marshal, Schiappa and Bardella part
Ovation also for Marion Maréchal, support of Éric Zemmour, but a more mixed performance for the Minister in charge of Citizenship Marlène Schiappa. On the side of the Republicans, the candidate Valérie Pécresse was greeted with whistles. Éric Ciotti, was also shaken by the room, when he disavowed the candidate Reconquête! about his plan for a ministry of “remigration”.
Finally, the only one that the public really came to applaud was Éric Zemmour. In this room acquired from the former journalist of the Figaro, another intervention marked the spirits, that of Jordan Bardella. “I knew him little and I was quite convinced by his speech which was very clear”, explains a spectator. Another, pro-Zemmour, admits having “found Bardella particularly relevant”. The acting president of the National Rally represented Marine le Pen, retained, at the same time, on a TV program which was entirely devoted to her.
