The former MP retired from political life after Marine Le Pen’s defeat in the 2017 presidential election to found a private “school” of political science in Lyon. With the objective of carrying out a fight more cultural and metapolitical than electoral or partisan.
More conservative than Marine Le Pen on societal issues and more liberal in economics, Marion Maréchal told Le Figaro in January ” lean towards Eric Zemmour ” despite ” a family matter with his aunt.
Four RN MEPs, including a leading member of the party, Nicolas Bay, as well as the only senator in the National Rally, Stéphane Ravier, have joined Eric Zemmour’s campaign in recent weeks.
