Which side will the “Marion Maréchal” play go?
While the director of ISSEP has retained a certain influence in the identity and conservative right, the question of her rallying torments Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour.
According to information from Le
Parisien
,
confirmed by
Le Figaro,
the niece of the RN candidate
"is thinking"
about joining the shores of the nationalist applicant, although
"no decision has been made".

If Marion Maréchal does
"not want to recreate family fractures",
she recognizes, after almost five years of absence, that she misses public life.
“It's been a year since politics tickles me
,” launches the one who had accompanied the “not yet” candidate during his trip to Hungary last October.
But is the 32-year-old young woman, who has cut ties politically with her aunt, ready to cross the Rubicon like Guillaume Peltier, who came from the ranks of LR, or Gilbert Collard, from the RN?
“If I support Éric, it's not just to hang around and say hello: it means coming back to politics and therefore leaving Issep.
It's a real life choice, a heavy decision, ”
she explains.
Zemmour “has made a lot of progress”
Because why join a candidate from the "national camp" who is around 12-13% in the polls while Marine Le Pen - after a period of slack in September-October - has regained some political ascendancy?
For her, Éric Zemmour
"has made a lot of progress in posture, tone, seriousness"
since he entered the battle.
And to slip a light spade to his aunt:
“I have known seven years of party discipline that I have lived badly, even if I do not regret anything.
My nature is not to recite elements of language.
And anyway, Marion Maréchal would not support her aunt, Marine Le Pen.

If the latter had indicated at the beginning of November on Europe 1 that she wanted
"a single candidacy behind the best placed"
-
an argument which has been recovered by Marine Le Pen in recent days to counter her opponent -, the former deputy of Vaucluse n is no longer so much in the same position.
“We can clearly see that we are not taking the path of union… And I don't know who is in the best position.
(...).
Éric Zemmour has a greater margin of progression among the working classes and abstentionists than Marine Le Pen among the upper classes, ”
she points out.

While some make her decision an upheaval in the balance of power between the two nationalist applicants, Marion Maréchal is procrastinating.
“Even if I come, it will not be folded.
To say that we will go from shadow to light is to oversell the thing, ”
she relativizes.
In any case, this duel that has been played out between Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour for several months should certainly experience some new twists.
