Eric Zemmour Candidate Video
Zemmour had already been found guilty of inciting racial and religious hate, as well as being prosecuted and acquitted in a number of other cases. This time, though, the stakes are higher: the defendant is now a presidential contender in France. Early in November, surveys suggested that up to 17% of the electorate might vote for him to be the next president. This put him in the second position behind only Emmanuel Macron, implying that the election’s second round might be a contest between the two men. He formally declared his candidacy on November 30th. Zemmour sat at a desk speaking into a giant microphone in his video message, which was paired to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, in a stance that reminded those of Charles de Gaulle giving radio broadcasts to the Free French during World War II. He gave a dismal image of France’s future, based on French history and worries of loss of prestige among French voters.

You stroll along the streets of your town and don’t recognize them (…), you pick up your daughter from school, you’re waiting in line for the dole, and you feel like you’re no longer in the nation you know,” he added, followed by pictures of current gang violence and former French glory. He pledged to battle for people who felt “exiled at home” and blamed a deterioration in civilization, as well as immigration and poverty, for making “the French feel at home again.” Because of his anti-establishment rhetoric and ability to deliver viral one-liners, Zemmour has been likened to Donald Trump. He, like Trump, has sparked discussion about whether the media has aided his ascent by providing blanket coverage. Many people believe he is unqualified for the high position because of his convictions for inciting hatred. Zemmour was fined in 2011 for declaring on French television that “drug traffickers are predominantly Blacks and Arabs,” which is why non-whites IDs are verified “17 times a day.” He was fined in 2018 for inciting religious enmity by saying that all Muslims believe jihadists are “good Muslims.” Stay tuned with TheGossipsWorld for more latest updates and information!
