A few days before the first round of the legislative elections, war is declared between the National Rally (RN) and Reconquête!, the party of Éric Zemmour.

Jordan Bardella, president of the RN, moves to the Var, in the constituency of Eric Zemmour.

He comes to support the RN candidate, Phillipe Lottiaux.

War is declared between the National Rally and Reconquest!, the party of Éric Zemmour.

This Friday, May 27, Jordane Bardella, president of the National Rally, is moving to the Var, in the constituency of Eric Zemmour.

Jordan Bardella wishes to support the candidate of the National Rally, Phillipe Lottiaux.

"Our candidates come out on top in the first round without the Reconquest candidates!"

For the president of the National Rally, Eric Zemmour came to play spoilsport in this constituency.

In the Var, Marine Le Pen gathered 57% of voters in the second round of the presidential election.

The tensions that tore the National Rally and Reconquest!

during the presidential election are still being felt.

"It's contradictory to demand unity and the help of the National Rally to create an electoral coalition and spend your time attacking Marine Le Pen. It's extremely contradictory, so I regret it. I respect Eric Zemmour but I regret that he comes to participate in a form of division", explains Jordan Bardella at the microphone of Europe 1.

According to the president of the National Rally, "in many constituencies, our candidates come out on top in the first round without the Reconquest candidates!"

A union behind Eric Zemmour?

For this local voter hesitating between the National Rally and Reconquest!, these divisions are incomprehensible: “I am the two parties, Zemmour and Le Pen. I find that there are small points of divergence, which are not very important. Why isn't the union of the rights happening? I can't understand that. I really think it's an ego problem. Marine Le Pen remains stuck on this, namely that the union of the straight, she does not desire it."

Jordane Bardella clarified that if Éric Zemmour was in front of the National Rally candidate on the evening of the first round, Marine Le Pen's party would support him.

For the moment, according to a local poll, it is the outgoing member of the majority who would come out on top against Eric Zemmour.

The National Rally would be third.

The electoral battle will therefore rage between the two formations of the national right in this fourth constituency of the Var.
