A meeting that finally takes place after multiple requests from Éric Zemmour. Nicolas Sarkozy and the former presidential candidate had lunch together on Tuesday at the former president’s offices, rue de Miromesnil, according to information from Europe 1, confirmed by BFMTV.
campaign conversations
The former President of the Republic had rejected his numerous invitations during the campaign to prevent them from being exploited by Reconquête.
“He has known him for a long time,” deciphers the entourage of the former head of state with BFMTV, explaining that he no longer sees “a problem now” that the former journalist “has left the field.”
This meeting was an opportunity for the former Figaro to share his impressions, after his 7% in the first round, far from his hopes of qualifying in the second round.
Sarkozy Inspirations
“He sees Nicolas Sarkozy’s career in a completely different light now that he himself has experienced an internal campaign,” analyzes a member of Reconquista.
Éric Zemmour had vindicated the former president of the LR during the race for the Elysée, calling to restore “work harder to win more”, one of the pillars of the 2007 victory.
If the two men had not had direct contact during the presidential elections, the former head of state had refrained from supporting Valérie Pécresse, the candidate in his camp. After her disastrous result in the first round, he finally called for a vote for Emmanuel Macron.
a complicated future
Éric Zemmour, who admitted on BFMTV on Monday that he had “thought about quitting” after his failure in the presidential and then legislative elections in the Var, ultimately intends to continue his career in politics.
Abandoned by several relatives, he will hold a meeting next Sunday, on the occasion of the summer days of his movement, and will dedicate himself in the coming months to conferences and the writing of a new book.
