Default France: right-wing pundit Eric Zemmour gains support

ON CNN HD
Fareed Zakaria
Asked is he a French Trump?

[A new poll sees French right-wing pundit
Eric Zemmour making it to the
second round of the presidential election
in April along with
President Emmanuel Macron,
confirming earlier polls that saw Zemmour
overtaking far-right leader Marine Le Pen.


The chat show star, who has been
convicted for inciting hatred,
has dominated the
French airwaves in recent months
with provocative comments about Islam,
immigrants and women.]

The migrant crisis going unaddressed -and even enabled- is unfortunately going to empower people who shouldn't be anywhere near power, as they're "the only ones who'll do anything about it".

don't think he'll be better than Macron at all

likely even worse


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89ric_Zemmour

''His parents were Berber Jews from Algeria with French citizenship who came to metropolitan France during the Algerian War.''

so basically his parents are war refugees


he should be careful what he says then about the migrant crisis considering his own family past, fleeing from a warzone

We're in the privileged position in the UK of being surrounded by water. There's not a huge amount that CAN be done about it in mainland Europe.

Far-right French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour has been fined €10,000 (£8,350) by a Paris court for hate speech.

The case was launched over a TV appearance, where he described unaccompanied migrant children as "thieves", "rapists" and "murderers".

Former broadcaster Zemmour is known for his anti-Islam and anti-immigration views.

His lawyer said he would appeal against the court's decision.

Reacting to the verdict on social media, Zemmour complained that his freedom of speech was being restricted, and said there was an "urgent need to drive ideology out of the courts".

He made the comments in September 2020 on the CNews television channel, where he used to work as a pundit.

Answering a question about a recent knife attack by a young radicalised Pakistani immigrant, he said: "They have nothing to do here. They are thieves, they are murderers, they are rapists, that's all they are. They must be sent back and they must not even come."

Zemmour has two previous convictions for hate speech.

For several weeks last year, polls suggested that he could come second in April's presidential election in France, facing a run-off with current President Emmanuel Macron. However, his support has since slipped.

Polls now suggest he could get around 11% of the first round vote.

That's a bit "Orwellian", or rather totalitarian, as no individuals were tarnished or threatened by his words.

Criminalising "hate speech" is just ridiculous.
