Eric Zemmour lost his chance to qualify for the second round after a blitz campaign. The ex-controversialist, who is located in Var’s 4th constituency, which includes Saint-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime and other notable places, came in third place (23.19%), just behind Sereine Mauborgne (28.51%), and Philippe Lottiaux (24.74%).
The presidential election saw the victory of Reconquete. This constituency had 14.7% of the votes, which is double the national score. However, it was far less than the 24.1% of Emmanuel Macron or the 32.2% Marine Le Pen. After a lot of hesitation, he applied with no other ties than the luxury hotels of Gulf of Saint-Tropez. He claimed to be “Mediterranean “…”.
A poll for the JDD showed Eric Zemmour at 24%, but was defeated by 47% in round two by the presidential majority candidate.
He knew the stakes: he was elected deputy and could bring his Reconquest! With more than 100,000 members, but no elected members, the movement is alive and well. His political approach would be strengthened if he wins in a historically right-wing area that is held by the majority. Jordan Bardella, acting President of the RN, was not interested in it and came to his defense, but without success.
