Go beyond the logic of the apparatus, but only in the second round of the legislative elections.
Asked this Thursday morning on CNews, the acting president of the National Rally opens the door to "
discussions on a case-by-case basis
" for the support of the "
best placed patriot candidate
" after the first round which will take place on June 12. .
Jordan Bardella stresses that "
the main thing is that the voters come together, beyond party agreements
", and that the ideas put forward by the nationalist camp "
be defended in the National Assembly
".
A week ago, however, Jordan Bardella replied in the negative to the possibility of a possible alliance with the party of Éric Zemmour Reconquest!
for the legislative elections, while specifying that "
the majority that we wish to create will go beyond the borders of the RN
".
For the MEP, "
in the first round everyone makes their differences prevail, on the other hand in the second round there may be withdrawal agreements which will lead us to support the best-placed patriotic candidate
".
Jordan Bardella's statement comes the day after Éric Zemmour announced on Twitter that his party, which came in fourth position (7.07%) in the first round of the presidential election, "
will not present a candidate against Marine Le Pen, Éric Ciotti and Nicolas Dupont-Aignan
” in the legislative elections, explaining this decision as a way of creating “
national unity in action
”.
An RN candidate facing Éric Zemmour
Jordan Bardella specifies, however, that "
there will be National Rally candidates in all the constituencies of France
", and that there may be "
discussions on a case-by-case basis, to support people, as we have always done, that would come from outside
", but these would only be a few scenarios.
This Monday, RN spokesman Sébastien Chenu said that if Éric Zemmour was a candidate in a constituency, the RN would put someone in front of him, in accordance with the party's decision to present 577 candidates.
“There is not a single constituency in France where Éric Zemmour's ballot was ahead of Marine Le Pen, not a single one in France.
We are the leaders of this opposition and maybe that's what Éric Zemmour has trouble digesting.
The head of the patriot family is Marine Le Pen.
