The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, and the president (LR) of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, both gave their opinion on Eric Zemmour. They esti


A new common enemy for the presidential election.

In a column in the Journal du dimanche, the mayor (ex-LR) of Nice, Christian Estrosi, calls on the right to “fight with all his might” Eric Zemmour, still not officially declared a candidate.

Faced with the media emergence of "this version of the extreme right corrected for seasonal variations", Christian Estrosi believes that "it would have been to the right, which he intends to siphon the voters, to lead the response."

But "she unfortunately deserted this fight", he regrets.

“When I hear Eric Zemmour claim (de Gaulle) and say that he is rebuilding the RPR, I no longer laugh.

It is the indignation that overwhelms me ", writes the city councilor of Nice," Zemmour is not De Gaulle, it is hardly his erasure ".

Some "come to terms with this madness"

For the moment not a presidential candidate, but given by the polls neck and neck with Marine Le Pen to contest the second round, “Eric Zemmour claims that Pétain saved the Jews of France.

Shame on him, ”continues Christian Estrosi.

He “pleads for the confusion of the rights and some, within my former political family, come to terms with this madness.

There is no continuum between the republican right and the extreme right, there is an irreversible difference in nature, ”says the founder of the“ La France audacieuse ”movement.

“He is the supporter of a racialized nationality, rejecting from the national community anyone who does not have sufficiently white skin.

The right, if it had a little bit of courage, could and should have recalled the attachment of the leaders of the RPR and then of the UMP to the right of the soil, ”argues Christian Estrosi in the forum published this Sunday.

"It doesn't laugh anymore, eh!"

: the "joke" of Eric Zemmour, gun pointed at the press

"Gaullists, we must not simply assert that we have nothing to do with him, nor with his anathemas, it is too little", judges the one who left Les Républicains last May.

"We must fight them with all our strength, in the name of the past, in the name of the future," he pleads.

"He breaks when it is necessary to bring together"

Also in the Sunday Journal, Gérard Larcher, President LR of the Senate, also gave his opinion on the polemicist.

If he considers that Eric Zemmour is not racist, he specifies that he “does not like his way of rewriting history.

He hysterizes the debate.

It divides, it fractures, whereas it is necessary to unite ”.

According to the senator, "he spoils the nation while he claims to rehabilitate it", or "France, it cannot be: hate each other".

However, Gérard Larcher considers that Eric Zemmour "addresses real questions".

For example, "our capacities for integration and assimilation are saturated", proclaims the parliamentarian.

For him, the rise of the polemicist - in whom he recognizes an "electoral phenomenon" even if he has still not declared himself a candidate - is the consequence of the "renouncements" of the right "in particular on the question of migration, the insecurity and identity.

(…) There would be neither the Le Pen phenomenon, nor the Zemmour phenomenon if we had better dealt with these questions, ”said the President of the Senate.
