Eric Zemmour sees "very positive points", but others also tinged with "ambiguities". While the Republicans have detailed in Le Journal du Dimanche their project to put a "stop" to immigration, the former unfortunate presidential candidate responds to them. On the set of the Grand Jury RTL-Le Figaro-LCI, he notes that the right "comes on (his) themes", and this in the perspective of the European elections.
Some things are "very interesting," the founder of Reconquest first acknowledged. Before regretting that some measures are akin to "pseudo-realism" to better dress up "renunciations". "The curse of the right is that it is always subject to the center," he said. He denounces in particular the quotas that LR wants to vote each year by Parliament: "The right has still not given up what Nicolas Sarkozy called "chosen immigration", which is in fact a trap.

For the former candidate, there is in this exit an electoral issue motivated by the prospect of the European elections, scheduled for June 2024. "They don't want all voters to arrive at Reconquest," he quipped. This election is also an "interesting opportunity" to address the subject of immigration. Especially since the former essayist assures him: "Reconquest will have elected representatives in the European Parliament.
»This election could even allow him to constitute "a large group of the European right where there would be Mrs.Meloni (the Italian Prime Minister, Editor's note), the Swedes, the Poles...", but "not the RN" and "The Republicans either". It would be "a great gathering of the right". Which "could change Europe's line on immigration".
Activists active on the ground
Who will be appointed to lead the Reconquest list in this election? "Marion Maréchal would be an excellent head of the list, and I could also be head of the list," replied Eric Zemmour, adding that he had "not yet decided". "I will decide according to the context, the other lists, the political context. But first, we are preparing our program, our campaign axis." This election would in any case be for him the possibility of more elected representatives - Reconquest having no deputy in the National Assembly.

The situation does not prevent Eric Zemmour from existing, particularly through his collectives of activists active on the ground. In their regard, their leader was pleased that his troops are contesting "the decisions that are taken on the classification of migrants, the distribution of migrants". "I defend the right of the people who live there to protest and prevent them," he continued. That's what I managed in Calac and elsewhere, and in Saint-Brévin too." This municipality where the mayor finally resigned after the fire of his home and a strong opposition for several months because of his support for a project of reception center for migrants.
«
Obviously, I condemned and I condemn the way this mayor was treated, it is absolutely scandalous, it is not in my methods, "responded Eric Zemmour. And to qualify immediately, by placing "violence" on two sides: "the extreme left on the one hand, and immigration on the other." As for that of the ultra-right: "It should not be surprising that the great replacement at work inFrance for years ends up provoking strong, even violent reactions. When I say that, I don't approve of them, I don't legitimize them, I'm just saying that it's going to become more and more frequent.
