"To vote Le Pen is to vote Macron".

The affirmation is signed by Eric Zemmour, for whom Marine Le Pen has not progressed since 2017, and who sees the National Gathering vote as a means of increasing the chances of electing Emmanuel Macron.

The Head of State, would in fact dream of facing Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election, because all the polls have so far shown him a winner against the president of the RN.

The only credible opponent of the RN

It has been going on for several years, with each time the same result: the victory of the outgoing president.

The Head of State therefore cultivates this duel by hunting on the lands of the right in order to present himself as the only credible opponent of the National Rally.

Emmanuel Macron thus invests in subjects dear to the electorate of the Republicans, such as security and immigration in Marseille, agriculture in Provence or even economic reforms such as unemployment insurance which should come into force on October 1.

For her part, Marine Le Pen plays the same card, but to access the second round and have a chance of being elected. All his attacks are directed at the president, accused of having set up a filing and copying company with the health pass. She will be "the president of freedoms," she swears. She who tries to reduce the potential candidacy of Eric Zemmour to that of a media bubble. So while waiting to know who will represent the Republicans in 2022, the two finalists of 2017 are trying by all means to replay the match, one to be able to know the same result as five years ago, the other to try to reverse the steam.
