If the National Rally hoped to count it among its supporters for 2022, it is missed.

Marion Maréchal clearly distanced herself from her aunt and candidate Marine Le Pen on Tuesday, exposing herself to criticism from her former party.

For the next presidential election of 2022, Marine Le Pen, the president and candidate of the RN "cannot win alone" and must make an "open effort" towards the disappointed of LR, estimated the former RN deputy on Tuesday on BFMTV and RMC.

"Marine Le Pen cannot win alone (...) Nobody is sure to be in the 2nd round (...) The margins for maneuver are located towards part of the LR (...)"

"Impossible to predict the poster of the second round" for Marion Maréchal

The former elected representative of Vaucluse seems to return to the political debate on the occasion of a very high profile return to school, even if she reiterated that to date, she did not "want at all" to run for the Elysée or to stand for any ballot.

Marion Maréchal has left electoral politics since her aunt's failure in the 2017 presidential election to run a school of political science in Lyon and lead a “cultural battle” of ideas.

The granddaughter of party co-founder Jean-Marie Le Pen has also moved away from the RN, having not taken back her card this year.

However, she does not "intend to serve a candidate" for the presidential election, including her aunt, and considers "impossible to predict the poster for the second round", while Marine Le Pen is given to the second round according to recent polls.

A distance that does not prevent him from providing advice in each interview.

She suggests to the RN to build “bridges” to the Republicans who do not want a rapprochement with Emmanuel Macron, and to the disappointed LRs to create a “kind of movement” for the presidential election.

"This unifying and opening effort, we did not wait for Marion"

Marion Maréchal ensures that she is not "at war" against the RN but she did not digest the sidelining of several of her relatives within the national commission of nomination of the RN, denouncing a "kind of tendency, a little Stalinist ”of elected officials for whom“ “you owe everything to the party and the party owes you nothing” ”.

Enough to frown at the RN, where several leaders invited him to resume the "electoral fight".

"There is no crusade or chapel at the National Gathering," Marine Le Pen assured Sunday, inviting her to come back "to work with" the RN.

"We must participate in the debate of ideas but we must also stick to the electoral thing and as close as possible to the inhabitants", added Tuesday on BFMTV the RN mayor of Perpignan Louis Aliot.

"The" no choice ", the absence of choice in the future presidential election is something dramatic because it is to consider that one feels superior to everyone and that one leaves the presidential election to others », He was indignant.

"Voters would harshly judge behavior that ultimately aims to give good points or bad points without directly engaging."

The mayor of Perpignan, who campaigned without the RN logo and welcomed on his list of candidates from outside the party, believes that "this effort of rallying and openness, we did not wait for Marion to do it".
