“Real heroines”: Marine Le Pen defends women against “the degraded vision” of Eric Zemmour – BFMTV

Marine Le Pen was our guest this Monday morning. The candidate of the National Assembly for the presidential election was keen to take the opposite view of Eric Zemmour.

“I don’t know what he’s got. He obviously has a problem with women.” On our set this Monday morning, Marine Le Pen gave the reply from a distance to Eric Zemmour. The day before, and on our antenna already, the probable presidential candidate disputed the existence of wage inequalities between men and women, explaining the income gap by the “choice” that they would operate in favor of less trades. remunerative.

Faced with Jean-Jacques Bourdin, the contender for the National Rally in the next April ballot continued:

“He has a very degraded view of women.” Before pressing the line a few moments later: “For many, they are true heroines, they raise children sometimes alone.”

Le Pen “hurt” by Zemmour’s historic comments

And if she assures that the attacks to which she was the object from her rival within the hard right and the far right did not make her neither hot nor cold, Marine Le Pen says she is more moved by some of its historical considerations.

To the point of exhuming passages from the First sex, a book that the one who was then only a chronicler and essayist published fifteen years ago: “The words he [Éric Zemmour, NDLR] held on to women during the two world wars, suggesting that they had had a good time while their husbands were at the front, for once, really hit and hurt me “, she first posed.

“When he suggests that the French women would have given themselves to the Germans and then to the Americans, yes, that hurt me. Because like all French people, I have a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother who gnawed at her blood, fought to feed the children during the war, “she said.

Regretting these various projections, Marine Le Pen wanted to see there a contradiction in the thought of her competitor: “To have such a degraded vision of women and to express it thus, even though he constantly says that we say too much evil of France, but what better way to denigrate France than to denigrate all women throughout the centuries or so? ” “Women don’t deserve this, to be treated like this,” she concluded.
