Around 10% of voting intentions in the first round

Sunday morning, during the Great Rendezvous on Europe 1, CNews and Les Echos, the polemicist had,

once again, evaded questions about his possible candidacy, while considering the possibility of carrying a "betrayal" if he did not show up. Asked about his political inclinations, about which many rumors have been circulating for several weeks, he said that his decision had not yet been taken. “If I didn't go, I would disappoint a lot of people, that's for sure. And it will be taken as a desertion, a betrayal, etc. It matters in my decision making. "

The author of "France has not said its last word" is credited with around 10% of voting intentions in the first round of the presidential election in the latest opinion polls.

On Monday, the polemicist said he was the victim of death threats.

He was allegedly taken to task by a man in the street, who spoke to him shouting "on the Koran, I'm going to smoke you", then "dirty shit racist", banging on the hood of his car in which he had taken refuge.
