While traveling in Occitania, Marine Le Pen reacted to this announcement by sarcastically: "I think Eric Zemmour can go and put a candle: where Peltier goes, the countryside passes away." And to confide in a small committee that the former number 2 of LR came knocking on his door, but that she did not open it.
The candidate of the National Rally pulls out the weapon of irony to react to Guillaume Peltier's support for Eric Zemmour.
According to Marine Le Pen: "Where Peltier passes, the countryside passes away."
And to continue that "he supported Mégret, de Villiers, Sarkozy in 2012, Bertrand, then Ciotti in the second round of the primary", according to her "Eric Zemmour must cross his fingers" because she is not sure that he manages to "survive the Peltier curse".
In a small committee in a hotel in Perpignan, Marine Le Pen confided that the deputy for Loir-et-Cher even knocked on his door, but that she did not open it.

Guillaume Peltier excluded from the Republicans
On the side of the Republicans, this departure is very commented.
Guillaume Peltier was number 2. He lost his vice-presidency a few weeks ago, after claiming not to be insensitive to Eric Zemmour's speech during his meeting in Villepinte.
Christian Jacob, the boss of the party reacted in the wake of the announcement: "By his decision, he is in fact excluded from the party."
Eric Ciotti told him he was very disappointed and even declared that he was committing a serious fault.
"A turning point" for Éric Zemmour
On the side of Eric Zemmour, we welcome a turning point in the countryside.
This support from Guillaume Peltier symbolizes the candidate's desire to unite with a view to the union of the rights.
He took the opportunity to call on "all those who want the right to remain the right" to join him and will appoint the now ex-LR spokesperson for the Reconquest party tomorrow.
