The rallies of elected RNs to the far-right candidate Éric Zemmour show a “dynamic not favorable” to Marine Le Pen.
They underlie "a revolution on the right", estimates this Monday the mayor of Béziers (Hérault), Robert Ménard, at the same time support of Marine Le Pen for the presidential election (April 10 and April 24) and friend of Eric Zemmour.
"It's a disaster for our camp (...) We are doing everything to miss this presidential election" and it is "a dynamic that is not favorable to Marine Le Pen", he says on LCI.
“If it ever continued, if tomorrow Marion
(Marshal)
sided with Éric Zemmour, it would be for this camp and for the RN of another magnitude”, he warns.

Éric Zemmour, who is nevertheless ahead in the polls by Marine Le Pen, attracts elected RNs because he has "strong words", and because there is "nobody", except him, "who is capable today to bring together as many activists "in Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), where they were 4,000 to support him on Saturday.
In addition, those of the RN who rally to Éric Zemmour “know that, in any case, it will be after the presidential election a kind of upheaval in the entire right
(and)
everyone positions themselves in relation to that “, adds the city councilor.
“They say to themselves that a shift is taking place which will cause the cards to be reshuffled (…).
I believe that on the right, there is today a revolution in progress”.
Marine Le Pen must "stop saying nonsense on a certain number of subjects"
For Robert Ménard, "it will be difficult" for Marine Le Pen to win the presidential election, which will be played for her "in a mouse hole".
But she can win the ballot "by wanting to be reassuring, by remaining stable on what is the foundation of the national right, and by stopping to say anything on a certain number of subjects".
Finally, he qualified as a “good decision” the fact that the RN candidate renounced the abolition of dual nationality in her program, without even referring to the party that she no longer chairs, as Liberation asserts.
“She is right to cut with a certain number of totems, taboos of the right or the far right, which are so many balls at her feet and which make us systematically lose elections.
