Zemmour intends to "refound the French right", says Peltier

"We regret with Eric Zemmour that the Republicans and the National Rally are not today in this process of unity", said the ex-LR during the political program of Europe 1, CNEWS and Les Echos, warning against a victory for the left in the June legislative elections under the aegis of the rebel Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

"Jean-Luc Mélenchon is in the process of bringing together Islamists, radical Muslims, wokists, the ultra-left," said Mr. Peltier, believing that re-elected President Emmanuel Macron would be preparing to "govern on the left and with the ultra-left.

After his score of 7% of the votes in the presidential election, disappointing in view of the polls for the fall of 2021, the political future of Eric Zemmour and his movement Reconquête!

seems uncertain, especially as the former far-right candidate comes up against the refusal of his rival Marine Le Pen, with 41.5% of the vote in the second round, to conclude an alliance in the legislative elections.

According to Mr. Peltier, the zemmourists intend to present some 550 candidates for the legislative elections, which will be held on June 12 and 19 in 577 constituencies.

They decided not to present candidates against Marine Le Pen (RN), Eric Ciotti (LR) and Nicolas Dupont Aignan (Debout la France), in the name of "national union".

"We never lose by reaching out and wanting to put aside the quarrels of ego to save France", assured Sunday Mr. Peltier, according to whom "Eric Zemmour will, throughout the next months and the next years , rebuild the French right".

And to warn that "those who refuse our outstretched hand will bear a great responsibility in the defeat, when Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Luc Mélenchon will govern our country together".

The union of the rights, "it's too simple to be intelligent", then retorted on the same antenna the secretary general of LR, Aurélien Pradié.

"I can see what the Reconquest! party is doing, they already thought they were responsible, they are seeing who can buy them," he said, denouncing an "absolutely miserable spectacle".
