Did Marine Le Pen steal her niece’s ad? The RN presidential candidate said on Tuesday that she was “convinced” that Marion Maréchal was going to join the campaign of her rival Eric Zemmour.
Asked on BFMTV about a possible rallying of her niece to Eric Zemmour, the candidate of the National Rally replied: “you can remove “possible””. “Is it a matter of days? “relaunches the journalist. “Yes”, judged the candidate. “I am convinced of it,” she even added.
Le Pen plunged into “an abyss of perplexity”
“It saddens me personally and it plunges me into an abyss of perplexity politically” because “I am the only one who can win against Emmanuel Macron”, further affirmed Marine Le Pen. “It’s a choice that is a personal choice that has to be made by her. If it was a question of pressuring her for emotional reasons, I would have betrayed the respect I have for free will”.
At the end of January, Marine Le Pen had judged “brutal, violent”, that her niece was thinking of joining Eric Zemmour in the race for the Elysée, insisting on the “personal aspect” of their relationship, saying with emotion to have ” brought up with (her) sister during the first years of her life”. Marion Maréchal, former FN deputy (now RN), then told the Figaro that she “leaned for Éric Zemmour” but that there was also “a family subject” with her aunt.
