Jordan Bardella "
finds only one thing to do, it is to come and fight me in the constituency that I have chosen when he could face the outgoing majority of Emmanuel Macron
", lamented Eric Zemmour at the microphone of Europe 1 on Friday.
But for the National Rally, the fourth constituency of Var is a key position: Marine Le Pen was chosen by 57% of voters in the second round of the presidential election.
No question, therefore, of giving way to anyone.
"
I respect Eric Zemmour but I regret that he comes to participate in a form of division
", in turn declared Jordan Bardella.

Since the start of the campaign for the legislative elections, the two parties have been at odds over the strategy to be pursued.
Eric Zemmour pleads for the constitution of a “
national bloc
” which would rally “
all right-wing electorates
” in order to weigh more in the hemicycle.
It is in this approach that he wished not to oppose a candidate from his party against Marine Le Pen, Éric Ciotti or Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.
On the RN side, Jordan Bardella believes that "
in many constituencies
", his candidates "
come first in the first round without the Reconquest candidates
", which justifies multiple candidacies.
A strategy strongly criticized by the former candidate for the presidential election, according to which the party of Jordan Bardella prefers "
to kill all the parties next to him
" instead of creating "
a large rally like on the model of the left
", he told Europe 1.
