Invited to speak on franceinfo, Éric Zemmour rejected rumors of tension with his partner and MEP Sarah Knafo, who is increasingly being mentioned as a possible candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The president of the Reconquête party asserted that "there is no problem" between them and denounced media speculation.
He accused certain journalists of relaying information manipulated by political opponents hostile to his movement. For several months, however, Sarah Knafo's growing media and political influence has fueled questions within the radical right, particularly after her strong showing in the European elections and her notable candidacy in the Paris municipal elections.
Sarah Knafo is gradually establishing herself in the political landscape
An influential advisor to Éric Zemmour during the 2022 presidential campaign, Sarah Knafo now occupies a central position within the Reconquête organization. Her increasing media exposure and more technocratic profile appeal to some of the movement's supporters, with some observers seeing her as a figure capable of broadening the party's electoral appeal.
Éric Zemmour, defeated in the 2022 presidential election and weakened by internal divisions within Reconquête, is trying to maintain his authority over the movement as 2027 approaches. Despite public denials, speculation persists about a possible redistribution of roles within the party in the coming years.
