Eric Zemmour was expected on the Tulle market, this Wednesday morning, June 26, alongside the Reconquête candidate! for the 1st constituency of Corrèze. A program ultimately moved a few hundred meters away to avoid meeting opponents along the stalls.
Eric Zemmour finally diverted his route to Tulle, where he was to take a walk in the crowd this Wednesday, June 26, along the traditional cathedral market. The reason given by Eric Zemmour: “The police, who protect me, prohibited me from going to the market,” explained the president of Reconquête! in front of the TV cameras. Shortly before, his candidate Gilles Oguinena, running in the 1st constituency, opposed in particular to François Hollande (New Popular Front), had explained: “There are antifa groups there, we preferred to put ourselves here so there won’t be any problems.”
Some young LGBT and communists as opponents
As opponents, a dozen people: Young Communists and young LGBT activists including Alex, were waiting for the leader of Reconquête to discuss their opposing political lines. Nothing very dangerous a priori. “I’m waiting to see if he’s going to give me a leaflet, just so I can ask him how he views LGBT people!”, the young activist said with a smile before Eric Zemmour arrived.
Around the Reconquest order service! around ten sympathizers had also made the trip, somewhat feverishly waiting for a handshake, a selfie or an autograph. It was finally next to the theater, a few hundred meters from the stalls, that the very cautious Eric Zemmour arrived. Asked about the meaning of his coming to Tulle, the president of Reconquête! indicated: “Support my candidate against Mr. Hollande. We have a concentrate of everything I denounce. Have you seen this magnificent region? Have you seen the veiled women, the Islamization in the market?”
“Who is it? Reconquest? It’s a shame!”
In terms of veiled women, there was indeed a shopkeeper and her small stand of North African pastries. Far from the thin agitation, she slipped discreetly: “You know, I’m here to work. I’ve never benefited from state aid, I’ve always made sure to be self-sufficient. I I just don’t want to shake his hand because my image could be used in a bad way.” On the market, others did not hide their dissatisfaction with this arrival of Eric Zemmour in Tulle: “Who is it? Reconquest? It’s a shame!”
While a mobilization against this visit was taking place on the quay opposite, the exchanges between the president of Reconquête! and the twenty activists finally stood on the floor of a brasserie, far from the cameras. And the market.
