“Asked about BFMTV this Sunday, Eric Zemmour once again left a (false) suspense about his probable presidential candidate.
“Everything is in place, it only remains for me to make up my mind and press the button,” he said, saying he was faced with a difficult “choice”.
The former journalist, however, did not hide his desire to get started in the race.
"The situation in France is so serious, so tragic," he said.
As for the people who support him in his meetings, he assured that he "would not let them down".

Capping around 15% in opinion polls (which must be taken with great caution six months before an election), Eric Zemmour estimated that "the only dynamic was (s) ien in September" and that "Most candidates would like to have this downturn".
Quite a “spoiler” for an Ifop poll to be published this Monday, and which would give it one more point than in the previous one (which, with the margin of error, does not actually mean much).
"Their hope and their methods"
What if the search for sponsorships prevented him from showing up?
Any presidential contender must indeed garner the support of at least 500 elected officials, and this search can be laborious.
Eric Zemmour has, once again, accused his opponents of putting pressure on mayors so that they do not bring him their sponsorship.
"This is obviously their hope and their methods," he tackled, without providing any evidence for these accusations.

Basically, Eric Zemmour once again felt that he "could only win if we allied, sociologically, the popular classes and a patriotic bourgeoisie".
“Marine Le Pen changes campaign axis every two days.
Me, I always say the same thing, I always keep my axis ”, he assured while the leader of the National Gathering suffers from his breakthrough in the public debate.
