The unfortunate presidential candidate was accompanied by the three vice-presidents of his party, Reconquête!, former deputies Marion Maréchal and Guillaume Peltier, as well as Nicolas Bay.

"Incivilities, insults, thefts, racketeering, gratuitous violence, sexual assault and rape ... insecurity in public transport in Île-de-France is exploding", estimate the troops of Reconquest, who distributed leaflets in front of a sixty train and metro stations.

A website, called "transport security", has also been created by the zemmourists, in order to collect signatures for a petition "against judicial laxity and migratory laxity", as well as "testimonies" of aggression in transport in common.

Fourth man in the presidential election (7.07%) after a campaign of which he had been considered the revelation, Mr. Zemmour had been unable to elect a deputy - not even himself - in the legislative elections two months later.

His political party, however, claims more than 100,000 members.

For lack of chosen ones, the troops of Reconquest!

deepen since an identity agit-prop strategy theorized at the start of the school year.

After having launched in September a “network of vigilant parents” intended to warn “the children victims of the aberrations” of the teachers at school, the far-right party had been at the origin of demonstrations after the murder of the young Lola , in Paris, in October, described as "Francocide" by Eric Zemmour.

The close guard of the former journalist had also bought several domain names on the internet in the hours following the crime, in particular "justice for Lola", before giving up under pressure from the victim's family.

Before his trip Tuesday morning to Gare du Nord, chosen for having been the scene on January 11 of an attack which left seven injured, and whose alleged perpetrator is a foreigner, Eric Zemmour had received bakers and craftsmen at the beginning of the week, even if it means lending the flank to accusations of political appropriation.
