The incident does not cease to react. This Sunday, during Éric Zemmour’s meeting at the Trocadéro, part of the public chanted “Macron assassin” for several seconds, without any reaction from the candidate of “Reconquest!” “.
An incident which had already sparked comments on Sunday, and which continues to make people talk. Asked this Monday morning on Europe 1, Yannick Jadot felt that “this message is unworthy. Emmanuel Macron’s project is not mine (…) but we must remain within the framework of the Republic”. The environmental candidate also assured that “when you speak at a meeting, you hear the crowd very well”, in response to the reaction of Éric Zemmour’s team, who assured that he had “not heard”.
“Inability to lead France”
For her part, Valérie Pécresse judged that the words punctuated by the supporters of the candidate of “Reconquest! were the sign of an “inability to lead France”. “A President of the Republic must control his supporters, we do not let things like this be said,” said candidate LR, guest of RMC-BFMTV this Monday morning.

An opinion shared by Gabriel Attal. “Either Éric Zemmour does not hold or does not have authority over his militants, or he endorses”, commented the government spokesperson, on Public Senate. “It’s quite worrying about his ability” to lead France. Politics requires “calm, coolness and, yes, benevolence”, says the government spokesperson.
“Obviously”, Jordan Bardella “condemns this type of statement”, he declared on LCI. But, unlike Yannick Jadot, the interim president of the National Rally wants “to believe (that Éric Zemmour) did not hear” what the crowd was chanting. “You are never safe, when you hold rallies, that there are inappropriate words, but you have to react immediately”, he also assured.
