Move along, there's nothing to see.
Invited on France Info this Monday morning, Julien Odoul again spoke about the almost candidate Éric Zemmour.
According to the spokesperson for the National Rally, no concern affects the party to the flame which remains united around the candidacy of Marine Le Pen.

The stars, however, do not seem to be aligned.
While the polemicist is progressing in the polls, until he was recently in a pocket square with Marine Le Pen and the candidate of the right, Robert Ménard tried once again to open negotiations.
The city councilor of Béziers thus took advantage of Éric Zemmour's passage on Saturday, on a literary tour, in his city to make a request.
“
I implore you and Marine to meet again next February.
At that point, may the one behind agree to withdraw and support the other.
Let's not waste this chance!
“, He launched, while the elected official had recently assured to support the contender.
"Éric Zemmour starts in politics"
Not enough to call into question the strategy of the lepenists, however.
According to Julien Odoul, there is indeed a "
need to come together
", but rather "
around the candidate who can win, who can help the French win
", that is to say "
Marine Le Pen who has a program, an precedence
”.
"
February is far away, we are at the start of the presidential campaign
", swept the spokesperson.
"
Eric Zemmour starts in politics and he must also learn humility,
" he said.
Assuring that "
we are satisfied with this competition because competition is stimulating in a democracy, it is even healthy
".

Like what the various figures of the party regularly declare, Julien Odoul also assured that the polemicist was "
not an adversary
". On the contrary. To hear the elected official, this possible candidacy would even be a chance: "
What is interesting is that the national camp, the French who believe in France (...), the camp is in the process of growing so c t is completely positive for the second round, for the reserve of votes which will be that of Marine Le Pen.
"
The only opponent is Emmanuel Macron,
" he recalled.
According to him, Marine Le Pen is also in the process of "
developing a national recovery program to give the French their country and their money
". Before repeating that “
in this context, Eric Zemmour is not an opponent.
"
The day before, the president of the National Gathering, Jordan Bardella, had also assured that "
the time will probably come when we will come together because I believe that the moment is too serious, and that while Eric Zemmour hits a lot in his media interventions on Marine Le Pen, Emmanuel Macron, believe me, is rubbing his hands
”.
Like the spokesperson, however, the elected representative sees the polemicist behind the candidate.
"
He would have his place in a government of Marine Le Pen, of course,
" he said.
