Marion Maréchal felt, not with out purpose, that she was mistreated by Reconquête!, Eric Zemmour’s get together. Will the best way she is acquired in her former political household make her remorse her former companions?

But she solely will get a live performance in return of silences, the place it will likely be troublesome to learn something aside from contempt. There was nobody on the RN, not even his aunt, to publicly want him good luck. And it isn’t solely as a result of the announcement was made on Monday October 7, the anniversary of the massacres dedicated by Hamas in Israel, guaranteeing a really restricted response.

Born below these unlucky auspices, the Identity-Libertés get together is in actual fact solely the brand new title of the Conservative Movement, a microparty born of opposition to same-sex marriage and aimed toward a conservative Catholic voters hostile to immigration. Marion Maréchal will add a dimension of financial liberalism, to kind a complete that resembles Reconquête!, with out Eric Zemmour or his early supporters. “I want to carry the voice of a civilizational right that is at the same time anti-woke, anti-welfare and anti-tax racketeering by breaking with “mental socialism””, she stated to Figaro.

His supporters wish to imagine, furthermore, that the previous darling of the far proper can embody a present of thought between conservatism and response, a training Catholic, a bourgeoisie from the west of France to whom neither the RN nor Eric Ciotti communicate.

She imagines herself as an ally of the RN

Yet obstacles abound. Its motion is a shell to be structured. Its political phase stays cluttered by Reconquête!, which not has the vigor of yesteryear however retains, round Eric Zemmour and his companion, European MP Sarah Knafo, a media and digital strike power. Above all, there’s the impression of a niche between the place that Marion Maréchal imagines for herself alongside the RN and the one that’s actually hers. In her first interviews, she describes herself as an ally of the RN, one of many three masts of a “trimaran” known as “union of rights”, of which Marine Le Pen can be the strongest incarnation.
