06:01 – A wave of defection more beneficial than expected for Marine Le Pen?
Competition has been fierce on the far right and Eric Zemmour’s candidacy has sometimes harmed Marine Le Pen. The Reconquest party! has at times appeared capable of weakening the National Rally by depriving it of historical collaborators, such as Gilbert Collard, Damien Rieu or Nicolas Bay, and other shadowy supporters. However, these successive defections never allowed Eric Zemmour to win against his rival. And after letting a few days or weeks pass, Marine Le Pen was able to take advantage of these chain abandonments indicating that those who abandoned the RN ship were the most radical who only wanted to talk about immigration and reproached him for being focus on social issues such as purchasing power. A strategy in line with its program to de-demonize the RN which seems to be bearing fruit.
09/04/22 – 20:26 – Marine Le Pen confronted the debate in front of the French
[Fin du direct] The appearance of the far-right candidate on the BFMTV program “Les Français dans les yeux” on March 22, 2022 was an important moment in her campaign. In this program which allows anonymous people to interview political personalities, the location adapts to the candidate. For the representative of the RN, it took place in Hénin-Beaumont, a town located in the former mining basin of Pas-de-Calais, of which she is a deputy. So 19 days from the first round, she chained two hours of questions about her program and her ambitions for the nation. But above all, at the microphone of Bruce Toussaint, she defended a “more mature” project. Recognizing the missed opportunity that the 2017 inter-round debate had been for her, she assured that she had “worked a lot over the past five years” and was ready to “take up the challenge” of facing Emmanuel Macron in the second round. Playing the experience and wisdom card seems to have succeeded for the candidate who has never been so close to the outgoing president in the polls than during the week preceding this first round. Tonight’s results will tell us if the displayed “maturity” bet was the right one.
