He has chosen his side.
"I have decided to support Éric Zemmour so that he is our next President of the Republic"
, announced Guillaume Peltier on Sunday, January 9 in the morning, guest of the
Grand Rendez-vous Les Echos-CNEWS-Europe 1
.
The former number 2 of the Republicans therefore assumes not to support Valérie Pécresse, the candidate invested by her political family.
"I do not trust her
," he explained, saying he had
"no guarantee of his non-rallying to Macron"
in the event of LR elimination in the first round.
Guillaume Peltier even hammered:
"Valérie Pécresse, it's Emmanuel Macron"
.
To discover
Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
"The only one faithful to the values of the RPR"
The deputy of Loir-et-Cher, often considered as the standard bearer of the line furthest to the right of LR, considers that Eric Zemmour represents
"the only candidate of the right, the only candidate faithful to the values of the RPR"
.
According to him, the former journalist would also be
"the only fundamentally courageous and lucid candidate on the state of French society"
and also
"the only one capable of beating Emmanuel Macron because capable of bringing together all the right-wing voters"
.
“I am the first, but not the last. This is the start of a rising wave
, "he warned, adding that he had also made his decision
" on behalf of the 40% of Republicans who voted like (him) for Eric Ciotti "
in the primary from the right in early December.
"A lot of adherents The Republicans want that to change"
, he maintained.
"The one who is closest to our convictions, the one who carries the most operational strategy, the one who is the most courageous, is Eric Zemmour
," he insisted.
In the past, Guillaume Peltier's positions had already irritated his political family.
Most recent at the end of May: he had declared to share
“the same convictions”
as Robert Ménard, the mayor of Béziers, close to the National Rally.
The MP had since lost his status as number 2 in the party.
His last statement in favor of Eric Zemmour should, logically, mark his final departure.
