On the second day of the war in Ukraine, Eric Zemmour continued his campaign. “Obviously, the event is serious and the war in Europe, it is not something innodin, agreed on the candidate, passing, Friday, February 25, in a farm of Haute-Savoie. But we are in the country presidential, it is a democratic rendezvous who is not anodin either. “He ensures that people were waiting for him in the region and” did not want to miss them with respect “. Moreover, “there is war in Europe, but there is no war in France”.

The far-right candidate took advantage of it to harvest three sponsorships at the lunch, of which the one, long staged, of Antoine Valentin, the Mayor the Republicans of Saint-Jeoire, in Haute-Savoie. The latter had organized a consultation of its 3,400 administered a month ago to sponsor. The results are not available anywhere, but Eric Zemmour has arrived in mind, ensures the edile, followed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. “Let’s be clear, sponsorship is not political support,” Valentin said in a video, but it was finally he who opened the Meeting of Eric Zemmour in the evening and called to “the reconquest”.

m. Zemmour, on his side, was especially trying to forget in high mountains his cumbersome statements about Russia, and his sustained admiration for Vladimir Putin. “The problem of Ukraine is not an invasion, I do not believe it, he said, on December 9, 2021. Russia, I take the bet, will not invade Ukraine.” “” I think there is a lot of propaganda, agitation of American services hysterize this story, “he said again on February 20th. Twenty-four hours later, Vladimir Putin stated recognizing the independence of preressical separatist areas.

“We will not be obliged to”

Eric Zemmour avoided all day from Friday to come back to it, and assured that his speech, in Chambéry, “answered all the questions”, during a meeting “traveled more serious than the precedents” . He finally contained two sentences. “Remember, some time ago, we were numerous to think that no camp would leave the situation to the war,” said the candidate, in front of an over-expected room of nearly 3,500 people, and Our government was sure to have convinced the Russians not to intervene. And we had reason to think that the war is to avoid. “The responsibility goes back, for him, to the United States, who intend to” push each more time more far the borders of NATO “.
