Marine Le Pen appealed to "sincere personalities of the right like (elected LR) Eric Ciotti and Nadine Morano" to join her, in an email to her supporters.
"We appeal to all goodwill, to sincere right-wing personalities like Eric Ciotti and Nadine Morano as well as to French people of all origins attached to their country: let us unite urgently to restore the presidential function and the greatness of the France, "wrote the president of the National Rally and candidate for the Elysee Palace in an electronic message broadcast Wednesday evening.
Ms. Le Pen had estimated Tuesday that "why not", the deputy Eric Ciotti or the MEP Nadine Morano, who refuse any alliance with LREM and defend firm positions on immigration, could make good ministers if she was elected president of the Republic.
A hypothesis declined Wednesday by Ms. Morano who explained that she did not feel "in phase" with Marine Le Pen, whom she considered "left" economically.
Eric Ciotti, for his part, said on LCI: "I am right in my boots and in my political family. I want the Macron / Le Pen duo to be broken. The rest are political postures".
Marine Le Pen also considered that "Emmanuel Macron no longer appears as the President of the Republic, but as a communicator lost in frivolity and in the void".
"Thinking of addressing the youth in a video in the company of two YouTubers, Emmanuel Macron insulted their intelligence", according to the candidate.
"The youth of France aspires to have politicians do their job" and "do not need a communication number bordering on ridiculous".
Emmanuel Macron is multiplying the signals to young people, such as the broadcast on Sunday of a program at the Elysee with influencers McFly and Carlito.
Marine Le Pen made several proposals for young people on May 1.
The RN has become the first party of 25-34 year olds, according to several polls, while 18-24 year olds vote instead for Mr. Macron or the leader of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
