Marine Le Pen needs to recreate dramatization and simplification because if she has achieved what has been called her demonization, she is paradoxically threatened today with demonetization. In the polls, it is she who remains qualified in the second round against the outgoing head of state.
Eric Zemmour: danger or asset for the RN?
To recreate the conditions of her duel with him, Marine Le Pen must raise three mortgages, the first of which is internal. She must remove the doubt from her family. The regional side weighs on the morale of the troops, some of whom are wondering: can our candidate really win? The second mortgage is the announced competition from Eric Zemmour; competition that she doesn’t really know how to handle.

Is he a danger to her because he takes her voices and steals the torch of speaking from her cash and radicalism, especially in the area of immigration? Or is he doing him a service by mechanically allowing him to refocus and taking votes from the right as well? The third mortgage is the one on the right. A right for the time being entangled in the puzzle of choosing a champion, but once there will be one and only one, it is she, more than the candidate of the RN who will be in the capacity of beat Emmanuel Macron.
Jordan Bardella, acting president of the RN and more than ever the right arm of Marine Le Pen.
We are in the symbol and I think that the electoral impact of such a decision is zero. The idea is simple: to show that it goes beyond the framework of its party, that it is addressed to all French people and not just to his own. Jacques Chirac, for example, left the presidency of the RPR each time he ran for president.
But it is through his personality, his project and his allies that we give proof of openness, not by artifice of a partisan apparatus. It’s like when Anne Hidalgo claims not to be the PS candidate. If this operation has any significance, it is rather to strengthen the status of Jordan Bardella, interim president, therefore. Bardella, 26 years old, let us remember, more than ever the right arm of Marine Le Pen, almost the only other figure existing at the National Rally.

Marine Le Pen arises in defense of all freedoms, always to correct the image of a party that some still qualify as non-republican.
But when she declines the theme, she speaks above all about health policy. What she calls the “Vaccine freedom” is a means of capturing, ostensibly, the anti-sanitary pass and, subliminally, the anti-vaccine, as she had wanted to pose two years ago as a spokesperson for the “Yellow vests”. And finally we come back to our dilemma: remain the candidate for the challenge or try to pose as a candidate for proposals.
