He was on conquered ground.
Guest of the big show “La France dans les Yeux” on BFMTV on Wednesday evening, Éric Zemmour answered questions from Ile-de-France residents for two hours.

While an invited citizen found his proposals
"coherent
", he challenged the nationalist pretender
"to add more".
And to indicate

".
A criticism that did not fail to sting the claimant who was facing him.
Zemmour "promises to put the financial means"
“

And not on the economy, as Marine Le Pen thinks.
