While Éric Zemmour spent many years as a polemicist or literary critic, he made a stunning reconversion before the 2022 presidential election. The uncompromising intellectual from TV sets became a party leader. And with this new career, he took on his new love story, with a young woman, a senior civil servant by profession: Sarah Knafo.
Long in the background, the latter finally joined the Reconquest list for the European elections, behind Marion Maréchal. She therefore knew Marine Le Pen’s niece very well. And as Eric Zemmour’s companion, she knows everything about the betrayal which is currently tarnishing the image of her party. However, she modestly agreed to tell Cyril Hanouna more. Sarah Knafo was not on the TPMP set to avenge her man. But good for trying to have his political formation accepted, in a great union around the RN.
Sarah Knafo: between disappointment and hope
In recent weeks, the Reconquest candidates have done everything to seduce the crowds. And even if the party did not finish in the top 5, they were still entitled to 4 or 5 seats. Thus, Marion Maréchal is currently a European deputy. And Sarah Knafo too.
“I campaigned happily. »declared Eric Zemmour’s partner on C8.
But the betrayal of the pretty blonde reshuffles the cards. An unpleasant surprise for the couple at the head of the Reconquest party.
“It was Marion who asked me to be on her list. (…) She’s the one who dumped us… She left. (…) People say to themselves that it’s a bit disgusting, everyone betrays everyone. We, the LRs… (…) It’s not easy, we are obviously disgusted, we trusted someone and that person betrayed us. »
However, Sarah Knafo has long admired Marion Maréchal.
“Marion is a girl I have been following since I was 17. (..) I was in final year and I saw Marion Maréchal at 22, who was entering the National Assembly. »
She was therefore delighted to count her among the party’s headliners, alongside Éric Zemmour. That said, Sarah Knafo acknowledges having detected discomfort among Marine Le Pen’s niece.
“We’re starting to discover that she seems a little unhappy at home. At the RN, she was unhappy because her convictions were not respected. But she was with her family. At reconquest her convictions were perfectly respected, but she was not with her family. »
First falsehood: Marion Maréchal attempted a rapprochement with the RN, without alerting the leader of the Reconquest party.
“She negotiates with the RN without telling us. » (…) We learn all this in the press. (…) She attacks Eric in front of the cameras. »
Remember that she would have implied thatEric Zemmour was, in itself, an obstacle to the alliance. Result ? According to Sarah Knafo, the latter would have offered to step back.
“Class”
But this sacrifice would not have been enough for Marion Maréchal.
“Marion still attacks Eric. (…) It is not only Eric who is betrayed. »
Surprised and disappointed, Sarah Knafo did not wish to say more about the deserter.
“I wouldn’t say anything bad about Marion Maréchal. (…) I will not feed the soap opera. »
A personal message for Jordan Bardella
On Cyril Hanouna’s set, direct allows almost all eccentricities. Determined to help Sarah Knafo in her attempt at union with the RN, the host tried to contact Jordan Bardella. Unsurprisingly, he got his answering machine. But Éric Zemmour’s partner took the opportunity to speak to him a few words. Insisting on their many points in common (foreign origins, modest family, etc.). With one goal: stand up to win to the legislative elections.
“A coalition is possible (…) Together, we can change things. »
It remains to be seen whether Jordan Bardella will respond favorably to this proposal..
