If he still refuses to say if he is a presidential candidate, the polemicist Eric Zemmour is accelerating his campaign behind the scenes.
A communicator has just been recruited, while his activists crisscross France to try to collect the famous sponsorships of mayors.
Not yet officially a candidate, he continues to advance his pawns.
This Thursday, Eric Zemmour publishes his new book entitled
La France did not say its last word
, which is already a success.
At the same time, if the polemicist repeats that he has not made his decision for 2022, he is accelerating his campaign behind the scenes.
Behind the curtain, things are agitated, thanks in particular to overexcited activists.
A bit like a certain Emmanuel Macron in 2017, Eric Zemmour's entourage has set up a campaign team in which everyone has a well-defined position.
Moreover, Olivier Ubeda, the former number 2 of the communication of the UMP has just been recruited.
Operationally, a team of 150 to 200 people is currently crisscrossing the roads of France to go fishing for mayors' sponsorship.
And since Eric Zemmour is placed at 10% of voting intentions in the first round, there has been a real effect.
Donations multiply
Finally, the sinews of war for the presidential election remains money.
A team of financiers who are part of the "Friends of Eric Zemmour" collective sends emails relentlessly.
And according to information from Europe 1, if we do not know the total amount of donations collected, 40,000 donors have paid at least one euro.
And small donations have multiplied since the precipitous departure of the columnist from CNews.
Faced with this dynamic, on the right, but also in the entourage of Emmanuel Macron, we are watching Eric Zemmour like milk on fire. With a fear: that he succeeds in imposing his themes for the presidential campaign.
