Is an alliance between the National Rally and Reconquest possible?

Marion Maréchal, executive vice-president of the far-right party of Éric Zemmour, wants to believe it, but regrets this Tuesday that his training and the RN find themselves "debating in a playground instead of looking at the essential issue ".

The former FN deputy (a party that has since become RN), who is facing "personal contingencies" (she is six months pregnant), also announced on RTL that she would make the decision "in the coming week" to to present or not to the legislative ones in Carpentras.

Strained relations between the two parties

Asked about the tense relations between the two parties, she replied that "if we start doing the archeology of hurtful and excessive sound bites during the campaign, we will not get out of it".

“We actually find ourselves debating in a playground instead of looking at the essential issue”, added the one who, with the other vice-presidents of Reconquête!, the ex-LR Guillaume Peltier and the ex- RN Nicolas Bay, proposed Monday a "meeting" with the RN to forge an "agreement" for the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.

"Obviously in a union of different political movements, the terms of this union are made according to the electoral weight of each and that naturally the leader is the one who obtained the most votes in the elections, in this case Marine Le Pen”, admitted Marion Maréchal.

A "regrettable defeat"

RN officials have criticized Éric Zemmour for not recognizing Marine Le Pen as "leader of the opposition".

The former polemicist on Sunday invited the "national bloc" to "unite", while criticizing the eighth defeat of a Le Pen in the presidential election.

Asked about the expression "brilliant victory" used by Marine Le Pen on Sunday, her niece replied that it "is logical that the politicians who are at the head of the political movement try to make the defeats look like to victories”.

But "it remains despite everything a defeat which is not a tight defeat, it is regrettable, it is a scenario that we had tried to ward off with Éric Zemmour", she added.

The tone between the RN and Reconquest has not softened since the evening of the second round.

Asked this Tuesday on CNews, the mayor of Perpignan and vice-president of the RN Louis Aliot estimated that the statements of Éric Zemmour accusing Marine Le Pen of being the cause of his defeat, before "offering him an alliance to save his skin" better "be humble.

Asked about a possible "outstretched hand" to elected RNs who defected during the campaign, the politician believes that, "out of personal restraint, they should not ask for it".
