The two former nationalist candidates for the French presidential election, Éric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen, made their political comeback this Sunday, September 11, 2022, one in the south of the country, the other in the north. Despite the divergent views of the two far-right leaders, however, they are looking in the same direction.
In his stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont, it is the 2027 presidential campaign that Marine Le Pen launched. With its 89 deputies obtained in the legislative elections, the boss of the National Rally wants to be ambitious.
” The hope that arose with the presidential and legislative elections gives hope for even richer harvests. The adventure that opens will probably be the most beautiful. Whatever your previous political choices, I invite you to join us “, she chanted to the applause of activists.
The appeal is addressed in particular to the troops ofEric Zemmour, which still appeared to be tested by its double failure of 2022 – presidential, then legislative. And who decided to focus on the cultural battle more than electoral.
” We will be and we have been, since day one, a school of thought by asserting ourselves as a counter-power that engages in the cultural battle “, did he declare.
But Mr. Zemmour wants to believe that the political wind can quickly turn, proof of this is, according to him, the probable victory of the figure of the Italian extreme right Georgia Meloni to the legislative elections scheduled in two weeks: “ In barely four years, it has gone from 4 to 26%. So how was this possible ? By taking into account failures and errors without ever deviating from its course. »
Georgia Meloni is also a reference for Marine Le Pen, because the same certainty inhabits the two rivals: the far right is on the rise and victory is within reach.
