And if the union of rights still had a future? The latest news did not inspire optimism, the main defender of this strategy, Éric Zemmour, having finished with just over 7% of the votes in the presidential elections of April 2022. On the contrary, Marine Le Pen, who had raised an inadmissibility In such a scenario, he had climbed for the second time in the final of this Elysian race.
However, the idea is not dead. This is demonstrated by a joint interview in the columns of The bada very right-wing magazine launched in 2017 by relatives of Marion Maréchal. In this we find Guilhem Carayon, Stanislas Rigault and Pierre-Romain Thionnet. Either the presidents of the youth organizations of the parties Les Républicains (LR), Reconquête and National Rally (RN).
“I have the feeling that we belong to the same side”
If this interview, scheduled for the March issue, is not yet available, Opinion could read it. And see in particular the answer to the question: “Would you say that you belong to the same field that could be described as national and that you have more points in common than differences?”
Pierre-Romain Thionnet, president of the National Youth Rally (RNJ), answers in the affirmative.
“With Stanislas (Rigault), we have an almost identical programmatic background,” he believes, later indicating that “for Guilhem (Carayon), the question is more a question of generation.”
“I don’t feel close to many of the older ones in his party, but when I talk to him or other young people from LR, I get the feeling that we belong to the same side and that we speak the same language,” details the 28-year-old. old man. And to end his words with a call for unity:
“In order not to live fifteen years of our lives under this Macronian regime, I hope we fight together.”
“I respect”
For his part, Guilhem Carayon does not really deny the words of his colleague. The president of LR Joven judges that “the advantage of our right-wing generation is that we all know each other.”
“Our differences may be clear, but we treat each other with respect and without taboos,” he said. The man who lost in the last legislative elections in the Tarn believes that he and his two colleagues have “in common having often had to confront extreme left militias at the university, their intolerance and their violence.”
However, “he remains convinced that the LR candidate will not only be the only one capable of winning presidential elections but also and above all of facing the immense challenges facing our country.”
“This dialogue is a first path”
Unsurprisingly, Stanislas Rigault does not show the same caution. He says: “If there are real differences, I challenge all readers of this crossover interview to classify us as adversaries.”
“Deep down, I am sure that in the face of the challenge of civilization that awaits our generation, we will end up working together, to win together.”
According to the president of Generation Z, “if that is not the reason, it is the dangers that are going to impose it on us.” To conclude, he slips: “This dialogue is a first path.” I am not sure that on the side of the management of the Republicans or of the National Group we listen to it with the same ear today.
