Zemmour Issues Defiant Statement after Victory of Hard Left in French Election

“Do not give up. Don’t lose interest in politics. Maintain hope,” said the former presidential candidate

Former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour issued a defiant statement in response to the victory of the hard left in the French election on Sunday.

“No despair! Starting tomorrow, the fight must continue!” he wrote on Twitter.

“This evening, I know that the disappointment of our people is immense. For the right, for France, for all those who care about their security, their freedom, their identity, for all those who want France to emerge from the terrible crisis into which Macron has plunged it, the result is bitter.

“France has spoken on the right and the government will probably be on the left. So, what can we say about all those politicians who have called for voting for the far left? What can we say about Macronism, which disgraced itself by allowing Islamo-leftism to score this evening? What can we say about these false right-wingers, all these artists, these footballers, who have improvised as directors of conscience against the interests of the French? We will remember it.

“Millions of French people voted for the right this evening, despite the injunctions of the media, despite the turmoil of politicians. This is great news, worthy of the patriotism of our people. These elections will also have had the merit of clarifying the confrontation between the right and left-wing Islamism, between those who want France to remain France and its enemies who dream of seeing it disappear.”

The statement continued with an injunction to join Zemmour’s party, Reconquête (Reconquest) and “refuse weariness, refuse despair.”

“The fight must be waged on the ground, to fight step by step against Islamo-leftism, to impose the truth in public debate, to protect our children from indoctrination thanks to vigilant parents, to build the recovery plan for our country and its economy, to prepare for the next election.”

“Do not give up. Don’t lose interest in politics. Maintain hope,” Zemmour said as he ended his address.

 “One day there will be enough of us to finally save our country.”

Despite winning the first round of the parliamentary elections by a significant margin, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was forced into third place by political maneuverings on the centre and left of her party, which saw candidates drop out tactically to ensure National Rally candidates did not win in crucial seats.

National Rally is now the single largest party in the French parliament, but the power lies with a new Popular Front alliance of left-wing parties. Its victory was greeted with jubilation in the streets of Paris on Sunday evening by left-wingers and migrants, who taunted Le Pen supporters as “losers” and racists” and proclaimed “We’re staying here.”

While Macron has prevented the dreaded prospect of a Le Pen victory, this is not by any means an uncomplicated success for him. For the remaining two years of his presidency he will now have to accommodate more radical elements of the left if he wishes to carry out his domestic agenda.
