The candidate of the National Rally was this Thursday, January 20 in Fréjus, in the south-east of France. Weakened for a time by Éric Zemmour, she is now ahead of him in the polls, and despite several defections, Marine Le Pen is having her best campaign.
Marine Le Pen is in a good mood, reports our special correspondent in Fréjus, Julien Chavanne. At each trip throughout France, the welcome is good, the selfies numerous. No controversies, no waves.
Same coolness displayed after the departure of two of its executives in Eric Zemmour’s camp. ” I have a long experience of political campaigns, says Marine Le Pen. So, in a political campaign there are always some vicissitudes, which moreover are the subject of an interest inversely proportional to the effect it has on the voter. »
On the move to Fréjus, Marine Le Pen reacts to the departure of Jérôme #River in Eric’s camp #Zemmour : “J Rivière had harbored bitterness because he was hoping for positions. It’s unpleasant but it remains anecdotal. Zero impact pol because he had zero impact pol at the RN” @RFI pic.twitter.com/88QaLCSLYg

The Zemmour lightning rod
A quiet countryside is unheard of for the woman who is presenting herself for the 3rd time at the Élysée. ” It’s super nice “, savors Marine Le Pen in a small committee. ” Éric Zemmour serves as a lightning rod “, explains a relative of the candidate.
Some urged her to raise her voice in the face of the polemicist, she said no and is not unhappy to see her strategy bear fruit, for the moment.
