Eric Ciotti wanted Sunday to remove all the ambiguities that political analysts attribute to him on the case of Eric Zemmour. The accession to the second round of the presidential election of the far-right polemicist would lead to the victory of Emmanuel Macron, thus ruled the deputy LR. It must be said that the candidate for the nomination of the Republicans had caused trouble on September 5 by declaring that he would vote for Eric Zemmour in the event of a duel between him and the outgoing president. An assertion that he did not repeat this time.
“I am convinced that the only candidate who can beat Emmanuel Macron will be a candidate from the Republicans”, exposed Eric Ciotti on BFMTV: “Everything else will only help Emmanuel Macron”. “If by hypothesis there was this duel (Macron-Zemmour) – but I do not believe it, it is Emmanuel Macron who would win it”, he continued. “There would be a mobilization” against Eric Zemmour.
Zemmour’s attacks
“The Republicans have the capacity to bring together, there is credibility, there is a history, there is a team, and it is important a team”, insisted the deputy, so as to underline the supposed isolation of the polemicist.
Eric Zemmour, who continues to maintain the vagueness of a presidential candidacy, attacked the Republicans earlier on Sunday, “a party of centrist notables” that he accuses of having “betrayed the right” Gaullist which he claims.
