Traveling to the small town of Saulieu, in Burgundy, Éric Zemmour met residents and held a meeting with one objective: to stand out from Valérie Pécresse, with whom he is neck and neck in the polls.
For this, the ex-polemicist did not hesitate to tackle the Republican candidate.
A watchword: haro on Valérie Pécresse.
Candidate Éric Zemmour was in the small town of Saulieu, in the Côte d'Or department in Burgundy, as part of his presidential campaign.
By meeting a farmer in a forest, the ex-controversialist spoke and targeted the Republican candidate.
"Valérie Pécresse, it's a political impasse," he said, "because a right that refuses all the right-wing people can only finally submit to the center, then to the left, then to the Islamo- rightists. The French notice it, the LR voters notice it, "he continued in front of this farmer.

"With Pécresse, you will not have Zemmour, not even a half"
The former journalist from Figaro then held a meeting which brought together more than 3,000 people in a cattle shed, and heavily attacked the president of the Île-de-France region.
"I say to those who want to vote Pécresse hoping to have a centrist Zemmour, a soft, light Zemmour. With Valérie Pécresse, you will not have Zemmour, not even half of it. You will have a mask plastered on the face of technocracy. And since I am anything but a mask, you will have nothing at all”, he assured to the applause of his activists.
In parallel, the ex-controversy finds colors in the polls.
Valérie Pécresse and him are now in a pocket handkerchief.
In the entourage of the candidate, we hope that the month of February will be that of the crossing of the curves, the one where Eric Zemmour will pass in front of the candidate LR.
