While his good momentum in the polls worries the side of the RN, Eric Zemmour went to Béziers on Saturday, where he was welcomed by the mayor Robert Ménard, a supporter of an agreement between the polemicist and Marine Le Pen.

And among the sympathizers present, many also pleaded for the union.

After a trip to Nîmes where he met the European deputy RN Gilbert Collard, Eric Zemmour went to Béziers, in Hérault, on Saturday, the city run by another close to Marine Le Pen, Robert Ménard. The opportunity for the latter, a long-right supporter of the union of the rights, to plead for the polemicist and the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen to agree in view of the presidential election, while the high scores of Eric Zemmour in the polls weaken the campaign of candidate RN. A wish shared by many supporters and activists on the spot. 

In front of 1,200 people gathered in a room in Béziers, Robert Ménard therefore called Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen to "meet again next February" so that the less well placed of the two disappears. "To unite the rights is to be able to put France before the ego of each other", he pleaded. "We will not win without Marine Le Pen. We need everyone," insisted the former boss of Reporters Without Borders. 

"My conception of politics is to win elections ... It is not making a good score, it is not having fun. It is not that your ego comes before everything", develops- he at the microphone of Europe 1. "They are each addressing a part of this electorate that we dreamed of bringing together. Eric will not win that without Marine Le Pen, and even less against Marine Le Pen."

Eric Zemmour answers for his part that this is not his subject, he for whom the presidential election is the meeting of a man and a people. 

"They must unite"

Still, in the spans, among the sympathizers, many hope that Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen talk to each other and that they achieve the union of the rights.

This is the case of Geneviève, who successively supported Jean-Marie Le Pen, then Marine Le Pen before choosing Eric Zemmour.

"Alone, he won't be able to do it. Marine alone, she won't be able to do it. She never did. She didn't lack much ... That's why 'they unite. "

And to add: It is stupid to do that. They have more or less the same ideas, the same desires. You have to go, otherwise they will not succeed. "

Robert Ménard assures him that the road is still long, and is still giving himself until February to agree on his proposal.
