Six months before the presidential election, Christian Estrosi wants his camp to recover.

Eric "Zemmour is not De Gaulle, it is hardly his erasure": the mayor (ex-LR) of Nice thus calls on the right, in a forum in the

Journal du dimanche

, to "fight with all its might" the polemicist.

Faced with the media emergence of "this version of the extreme right corrected for seasonal variations", Christian Estrosi believes that "it would have been to the right, which he intends to siphon the voters, to lead the response."

But "she unfortunately deserted this fight", he regrets.

"I don't laugh anymore"

“When I hear Eric Zemmour claim (de Gaulle) and claim that he is rebuilding the RPR, I no longer laugh.

It is the indignation that overwhelms me ”.

For the moment not a presidential candidate, but given by the polls neck and neck with Marine Le Pen to contest the second round, “Eric Zemmour claims that Pétain saved the Jews of France.

Shame on him, ”continues Christian Estrosi.

“Eric Zemmour pleads for the confusion of the rights and some, within my former political family, come to terms with this madness.

There is no continuum between the republican right and the extreme right, there is an irreversible difference in nature, ”says the founder of the“ La France audacieuse ”movement.

The defense of the right to the soil

“He is the supporter of a racialized nationality, rejecting from the national community anyone who does not have sufficiently white skin.

The right, if it had any courage, could and should have recalled the attachment of the leaders of the RPR and then of the UMP to the right of the soil, ”argues Christian Estrosi.

"Gaullists, we must not simply assert that we have nothing to do with him, nor with his anathemas, it is too little", judges the one who left Les Républicains last May.

"We must fight them with all our might, in the name of the past, in the name of the future".
