The leader of the Reconquista party, Éric Zemmour, has confirmed this Tuesday that he will run again in the French presidential elections, whose first round is scheduled for April 2027, reiterating his defense of a “French France,” as he already did in the 2021 elections.
The far-right politician has ratified his decision in an interview granted to the public broadcaster TF1, in which he has assured that “he is running in order to be able to maintain a French France and so that our future is French,” something that, he has underlined, “is essential.”
Zémmour, who five years ago won more than 7% of the votes in the first round and finished in fourth place in the race for the Élysée, then asked for votes for Marine Le Pen, the candidate of National Rally (RN), ahead of the second round.
Last May, when he was already hinting at the possibility of running again, he showed himself completely opposed to any understanding with RN. “There will be no dialogue either before the presidential elections. Each one will go his own way,” he said then in an interview granted to Europa Press.
