Presidential 2022: Marine Le Pen seeks to seduce the voters of Eric Ciotti

The worst configuration of Emmanuel Macron would not it be the best for Marine Le Pen?

It only took a few minutes this Saturday afternoon after the announcement of the victory of Valérie Pécresse in the second round of the LR congress.

The president of the Ile-de-France region won quite comfortably, with more than 60% of the vote.

But his victory cannot hide the performance of Eric Ciotti, who grabs 15 points between the first and the second round.

With his very marked line on the right, Eric Ciotti clearly displayed his desire to influence the line of the candidate invested by The Republicans.

But its electorate is already in demand.

Marine Le Pen seems very interested in the idea of ​​going to look for some of them, to bring them back to her.

Her argument: Valérie Pécresse would be "the most macronist" of the LR candidates, incapable according to her of leading a real right-wing policy.

"It's sad for LR voters"

"I am unhappy for the LR voters" because Valérie Pécresse, who won the internal competition against Éric Ciotti in the second round, is "the most macronist" of the right-wing contenders in the race for the Elysee, declared Saturday the candidate RN, on the sidelines of a meeting in Warsaw of the European far-right sovereignist and conservative parties.

Valérie Pécresse would have "almost exactly the same profile as Emmanuel Macron" and has "very certainly on a considerable number of subjects the same positions".

So much so that she imagines him already becoming Prime Minister of the outgoing president if the latter were to be re-elected.

Then comes the time of seduction.

"It is sad for the LR voters" who "expressed their wish to come out of this compatible Macron side" and "will not have succeeded in doing that", according to the candidate of the National Rally.

His solution?

"They always have the possibility of coming to participate in my campaign where they will find an assumed, uninhibited defense of the Nation, identity, borders", she continued not without malice.

"The position expressed by Eric Ciotti on many points corresponds to the firmness that we want to see implemented in the field of insecurity and immigration", she said about the very right-handed MP of the Alpes-Maritimes.
