One more departure… National Rally MEP Maxette Pirbakas, elected from Guadeloupe, in turn announced her support for Éric Zemmour on Tuesday evening in Le Figaro, in the midst of a fratricidal war on the far right as the presidential election approaches. Maxette Pirbakas imitates MEPs Jérôme Rivière and Gilbert Collard or former identity leader Damien Rieu, defectors from Marine Le Pen’s party too.
Éric Zemmour, “he is not a politician. I find myself in him. He listens, he does not pretend to speak in place of the Ultramarins, ”said the elected Guadeloupe, 46 years old.
A stir has also taken place among the elected RN of Paca, since Sophie Grech, regional councilor and elected municipal representative of the northern districts of Marseille, announced that she would give her sponsorship to the candidate Reconquest! rather than Marine Le Pen. She was reprimanded by Thierry Mariani in a tweet: “Like the 39 elected to the regional council on the list that I led in Paca, she had signed a commitment on her honor to sponsor Marine Le Pen. Amazing this conception of honor which only lasts 8 months”.
Senator RN from Bouches-du-Rhône and municipal councilor, Stéphane Ravier, preferred to temporize: “After yesterday’s events, I am meeting this evening the elected representatives of my municipal group where all Marseille patriots have their place. Sophie Grech, like the others, can count on my friendship. The rally once morest Macronism will be through discussion. »
On the other hand, Stéphane Ravier formally denied any imminent departure from the Zemmour camp: “there is no question of it for a single second”, insisted his entourage, questioned by AFP. “Stéphane is not on the start. Failing to share the departure of Sophie Grech, he understands her. From the beginning he said that we have to stop hitting each other because everyone will need the other in the second round. Stéphane wants to play the role of blue helmet. »
“Sabotaging my campaign”
“What I do not admit is the concealment, the moment and the will to sabotage my campaign much more than to carry the campaign of someone else”, lambasted Marine Le Pen, Tuesday in Brest ( Finistère), without giving a name. The day before, she had asked MEP Nicolas Bay to clarify her position. For her part, Marine Le Pen’s niece, Marion Maréchal, had admitted on Friday “leaning” for Éric Zemmour but without rallying him at this stage.
