“I have decided to entrust Marion Maréchal with the mission of leading the Reconquest list! for the European elections”, announced the president of the far-right party and former presidential candidate, Eric Zemmour, in an interview with Le Figaro published on Wednesday, September 6.
“I want her to be accompanied by the whole young generation, from all the right-wing parties, who joined me during the presidential election and that they achieve the highest score possible,” continued the polemicist, explaining not not have “vocation to be a candidate in all elections”, while recognizing Marine Le Pen’s niece “talent”. “You can defend your convictions, your conception of Europe without necessarily being at the top of the list”, explained Mr. Zemmour, noting that he would “obviously campaign”.
“We are going to make the Europeans of June 9 a referendum on immigration”, he added, a subject which, according to him, is a “European priority”, “both for a demographic reason”, “a democratic reason”, “and finally for a reason of efficiency: our continent will defend itself better if it is united against this danger”. Mr. Zemmour does not, however, join the request of Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally (far right) and head of the list of the Lepenist party for the European elections, to organize a referendum on immigration on election day. .
