After Marine Le Pen, the environmental candidate confronted Éric Zemmour, Thursday evening on France 2. If the debate of a good half-hour, often confused, took place under high tension, the tone rose sharply when Yannick Jadot made a comparison between the nationalist pretender and Philippe Pétain.
While the two suitors discussed the history of the construction of the European Union, the MEP explained that "
the Europe carried by Éric Zemmour is not that of General de Gaulle who shakes hands with Adenauer to building our power is that of Pétain and Hitler at Montoire
”.
