The candidate attacks her possible competitor on the merits.
Invited on France 2 this Tuesday morning, Marine Le Pen criticized the almost-candidate Eric Zemmour for defending a program "
marked by ultraliberalism
".
"
It's a very big difference between him and me,
" she said.

These are important differences that the contender, supported by the National Rally, pointed out.
On the set of 4 Truths, the former president of the flame party insisted on her desire to "
preserve our social protection system
", when Eric Zemmour wishes, according to her, to take measures that would weaken it.
On retirement, for example, the polemicist has already expressed his desire to raise the retirement age several times.
"
There are a lot of people who will not reach retirement age in good health so I find that it affects our social protection system
", retorts Marine Le Pen.
"It shocks me"
On the job, the candidate also assures not to consider "
that France does not work enough
", but rather "
that the political leaders have put in place the conditions of a mass unemployment
".
“
We must therefore change the economic model.
But each time to seek the guilt of the French seems to me once again deeply unfair,
”she criticized.

Another subject of disagreement: the question of women and their place in society. The polemicist recently assured to want to end the parity to privilege the "
merit
". His various comments also regularly earn him the label of misogynist. "
I think he has a vision of women which is a vision which reduces the capacities of women, which lowers their expectations, which reduces their power since he himself says that women are not made to have access to positions of power,
”she confirms. Before adding that "
yes, that shocks me
". "
I am deeply sure that there is equality between men and women in the capacity they have (...) to want to participate in energy, dynamism,future of the country
She continued.

By listing these reasons for division, Marine Le Pen therefore swept aside the invitation of the mayor of Béziers, Robert Ménard, for the two figures of the nationalist right to unite in February according to the polls.
“
I will be in the lead
, guaranteed the candidate.
The balance of power will not be reversed.
"It will however be a question of bringing together in the second round"
the French who are attached to the nation, who are attached to solving the problems of immigration, insecurity and Islamism (...) but also who are committed to the preservation of our system of social preservation.
"Until then, the contender pretends to wonder:"
Who will defend the French from the middle class?
The modest French who do not want to see the implementation of an ultraliberal policy from which they have suffered for decades?
Who will defend them besides me?
Anybody.
