Text: Marco Polisson – “We continue to fight so that France remains France! Far from being discouraged by the low score of their champion in the presidential election, the Reconquest candidates have invested the 14 districts of the Rhône where they do not intend to make up the numbers.
They are 300 gathered at the Parc Chabrières in Oullins, on this spring evening, to applaud Nicolas Bay, vice-president of Reconquest. The MEP, whose defection from the RN has fueled the presidential column, is the star invitation to the joint meeting of the 14 Z candidates in the Rhône. To introduce them, it is Olivier Pirraparty coordinator and candidate in the 12th constituency (opposite) who acts as room driver.
In Lyon, Eric Zemmour invested two young workers for their first electoral battle: Sixtine Bonfils25 years old, in the 1before (opposite) and Pierre-Simon31 years old, in the 2thalongside two experienced personalities: Olivier Delucenay52 years old, who was a LR candidate in the last municipal and regional elections (in the 3th) and Florence Darbonformer elected official of 6th (read below). These war prizes are the local synthesis of Eric Zemmour’s great project: the union of the rights.
A wish which, on a national scale, is slow to take shape, but which in the Rhône has the faces of Cedric LeBel55 years old (opposite), and Peter Porta61 years old, both present on the RN list ofAndrea Kotarac in the 2020 metropolitan elections. At the podium, Nicolas Bay regrets this lack of alliance, “the RN and LR having preferred to look at their personal interests. United, the right is in the majority. Divided, she plays the game of Emmanuel Macron. »
Asked about his chances in the Rhône, the vice-president of Reconquest highlights Agnès Marion, candidate in the 10th and Bruno Attal in Vénissieux.

An investigation, entrusted to the gendarmerie of Arbresle, was opened to determine the origins of the incident. Not enough to undermine the morale of this mother of 6 children: “My house burned down, I no longer have anything superfluous. We are all safe, and nothing will stop my fight for France and the 8th district of the Rhône! »
