Some of these clients were actually activists who, hours later, took part in a meeting of a far-right candidate.
The scene generated widespread reactions, especially on social media. On his way to the Southwest, where he was the victim of an egg thrown by the father of a disabled child, Erik Zemmour made a “chance” encounter with several motorists waiting for refueling at the Castelsarrasen station.
There, the latter listened as the candidate scientifically explained in front of the cameras that it was necessary to lock prices at 1.80 euros per liter of fuel, asking large groups to “cut margins”. “Randomness helps,” one of the motorists blurted out before leaving for a meeting in Agen in the middle of the day.
However, on BFMTV, one of the motorists present confirmed that she had followed the candidate since the early hours of the morning, before claiming otherwise moments later.
Eric Zemmour didn’t know
In fact, the meeting was far from accidental. A few hours later, several of these fictitious clients were seen by our cameras in a meeting as Eric Zemmour. In fact, according to the Reconquista candidate’s entourage, the hoax was because the organizer of the trip didn’t want the service station to be empty when Eric Zemmour arrived. Therefore, these two people were asked to come to the pump to get the sequence.
“Eric Zemmour did not know these people, he never saw them,” however, confirms his entourage BFMTV. “The candidate has no desire to write anything according to the script. Eric Zemmour, for example, regularly visits the markets without deciding anything in advance. Yes, the trips are prepared, but Eric Zemmour’s desire is to meet the French first. .’
In closing, Eric Zemmour’s team assures him that there will be more vigilance in organizing some local trips in the future.
