Malika Sorel is the National Rally’s newest war prize for the European elections, number two on Jordan Bardella’s list. His candidacy has barely been announced, it has already caused a lot of ink to flow. Who is this right-wing woman, who is clearly not afraid of contradictions?
Her Wikipedia entry presents her as an essayist. Malika Sorel has in fact written several essays on immigration and what she calls “ decomposition of France » but we know her above all for having lived in the shadow of several right-wing political figures over the last twenty years. Her first steps into the deep end of politics, she took alongside Dominique de Villepin, then Minister of the Interior, during the riots of 2005. Four years later, in 2009, this woman of Algerian origin was appointed by Nicolas Sarkozy at the High Council for Integration. An instance that no longer exists today.
We will then see her again in 2017, in the middle of the Fillon affair. She is one of those who supports the former Prime Minister, presidential candidate, to the end. We can also see his face in the photo of the famous Trocadéro speech, at the time when François Fillon is in turmoil.
Several text messages sent to the president to offer his services
Since then, Malika Sorel has maintained links with Emmanuel Macron. We don’t know since when, but she wrote to him personally, a few months ago, according to the Chained Duck. Jordan Bardella was therefore not a choice if “ obvious » as she claims in the media. In its edition of Wednesday March 27, the satirical weekly even published SMS messages that Malika Sorel allegedly sent to the President of the Republic’s cell phone last January.
Messages in which the essayist clearly applies for a ministry, that of Education. And she insists. Several messages are sent to the head of state, according to the Chained Duckwho claims that the president never responded to him.
The new recruit of the RN confirms
Tuesday evening, Malika Sorel half-heartedly confirms this information, on the sidelines of the general immigration conference organized by the RN. A few minutes after hitting Emmanuel Macron, the candidate assumes in front of journalists: “ I had discussions with the president to tell him that I wanted to serve France “. However, she never utters the word “ candidacy “. But she suggests that it is in the field of Education that she would have offered her services, before adding that Emmanuel Macron, who, according to her, does not lead the right policy, would have recovered part of his elements of language for his wishes to the French, on December 31.
Statements that are impossible to verify. Malika Sorel concludes by proposing to the president to debate publicly and by quoting the last SMS that she sent to him: “ I told her that De Gaulle had Couve de Murville and André Malraux at his side and that he only had Stéphane Séjourné (whom she calls Sébastien in passing) and Rachida Dati “. Those interested will appreciate it.
