In Avignon, the marchers divided on the anti-Zemmour strategy
In a vast exercise of style, it was 50 shades of anti-Zemmour, Saturday noon at the platform of the university of return to La République en Marche in Avignon. Sign that the one who is not a candidate occupies well the minds of the macronie, and that this one seeks the good frequency to answer him.
Offensive, the boss of LREM deputies Christophe Castaner tapped with shortened arms on the polemicist, credited with double-digit polls which sometimes make him touch the low flow of the leader of the National Rally Marine Le Pen.
Eric Zemmour is “in constant delirium“, thus lambasted the former Minister of the Interior,”proud to announce a great replacement“,”proud to trample on our country’s heritage“,”proud to display the filth in which he complains“.

“The excess is only the art of cowards. What a shame he does to the debate and to France“, once stormed Mr. Castaner, believing that Mr. Zemmour was”more lepéniste than the Le Pen“.
Also virulent, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran has crushed this “adventurer of withdrawal, rejection, racism, who quotes great authors like others do prose, but above all, gives buttons to serious historians“.
“No, Monsieur Zemmour, it is not enough to quote Talleyrand every three sentences to make you a statesman“, mocked Mr. Véran.”Me, I belong to a generation which chanted + the youth piss off the National Front +, which shouted + don’t touch my buddy + and I cannot bring myself to see that a significant part of the youth abstain or allow themselves to be tempted by xenophobic ideas“, he insisted.
Without naming Mr. Zemmour and warning against “the arrival of the brown plague“, the deputy general delegate of LREM Jean-Marc Borello has metaphorized on this”new virus“who would represent”15% of the electorate” and that “results in mental disorders, a little machismo, a little homophobia“.
– “Customize the response“-
For his part, government spokesman Gabriel Attal, in a recorded message, was more evasive by calling on the marchers to “never let anyone take over the monopoly of radicalism“.”Because the real radicalism is ours (…) not that of the postures for the media bubble“, he said, refusing the vision of a”stunted payroll“.
Faced with the rise of the phenomenon, and the uncertainty as to its sustainability, “we are divided on the strategy to adopt“Says a government heavyweight.”Obviously, there are some who want to start hitting him. Less for a question of strategy than to say to people: open your eyes!“, he adds.
But “it’s a mistake to talk about Zemmour today“, regrets another tenor of the majority.”It does not mean that we are not fooled, but if we do not talk about it, we do not advertise it“, he adds, considering that Messrs. Castaner and Véran had”socialist meeting reflexes“.
Emmanuel Macron himself had first dodged the subject on Monday on the sidelines of a trip to Lyon, before raising his tone the next day by asserting that “our identity was never built on either shrinking or first names“, targeting, without designating it, the polemicist.
In this wake, the leader of LREM Stanislas Guerini thus pleads not to “customize the response“.”When we are entangled in the response, it’s the best way not to get our ideas across“, completes a historical walker, thus calling, like the deputy Roland Lescure to”not to box but to dig your furrow, to move forward“.

“There is absolutely no point in participating in a punching ball competition“, echoed in front of the press the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire, comparing the”Zemmour bubble” to one “volcanic lake bell“Destined to explode one after the other.
