RECONQUEST!. The presidential result belonging to the past, Eric Zemmour and Reconquest! can they hope to win deputies in the legislative elections? The case seems badly embarked.
After having just reached 7% of the votes cast on 1er round of the presidential election, Eric Zemmour and his party Reconquête! embarked on the race for the legislative elections with much more discretion than when the former polemicist burst into the political game last September. Above all, if the ex-candidate continues to make people talk about him over his media interventions, no dynamic has taken place around his training. The dreamer of a union of the rights and an alliance between the patriotic bourgeoisie and the working classes finally finds himself very lonely. Because the outstretched hand to Marine Le Pen and the National Rally has been refused and no rallying of weight has taken place in favor of the zemmourist movement since April 10. If Reconquest! presents candidates in the vast majority of constituencies, Eric Zemmour has little chance of getting elected. He himself could not enter the National Assembly, despite his candidacy on a favorable ground. Born less than a year ago, will the new far-right current already be buried?
Who are the Reconquest candidates for the 2022 legislative elections?
Eric Zemmour tried, in vain, to seal a pact with Marine Le Pen for the legislative elections. If the approach did not succeed in the face of the refusal of the boss of the RN, the deposed presidential candidate did not however invest any pretender to the deputation against his rival, just like against Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Eric Ciotti. On the other hand, a Reconquest! will be present in almost all constituencies. Among the candidates, some leading figures such asEric Zemmour in person, invested in the 4e constituency of the Var, in Saint-Tropez. Not far from there, the head of Generation Z, Stanislas Rigaultwill try to be elected in the 2e du Vaucluse, helped by his deputy, Marion Maréchal. Reconquête has also invested a few headliners in the Alpes-Maritimes: Philippe Vardon (3e), ex-executive of the RN, Damien Rieu (4e), identity activist, or Denis Cieslik (6e), former head of sponsorships for the presidential election. Otherwise, Guillaume Peltierex-LR, is a candidate, in the 2e constituency of Loir-et-Cher, just like the first mayor to have publicly supported Eric Zemmour, Wolf Wolfin the 4e constituency of Côte-d’Or. The former figure of the Yellow Vests, Benjamin Cauchypresents himself in the 1st of the Aisne, but also the union policeman Bruno Attal in the 14e du Rhône, or even two presidents of Sens commun, Laurence Trochu (1st of Yvelines) and Sebastien Pillard (14e from Paris). Finally, Amaury de Bourbon Parmaa distant descendant of Louis XIV, was invested in the 2e of the Orne.

His best scores by constituency? 16.8% in the 4e of Paris, 16.58% in the 8e Alpes-Maritimes and 16.35% in the 14e from Paris. If the trend were to be confirmed, it would be difficult to imagine candidates from his training making it to the second round.
