French far-right pundit Eric Zemmour announces presidential bid

  1. Pretty much guarantees a second mandate for Macron and could precipitate a collapse of Le Pen’s RN party in the next couple of years.

  2. Just watched his presidential video clip. Huge 1933 vibe. 5 minutes of arabs and blacks beating up people on the street and fighting with police, followed by 3 minutes of listing every french hero, and then about 2-3 minutes of white people smiling, looking nice and gentle while eating camembert. All this with Zemmour imitating De Gaulle’s June 18th speech. He mentionned the words “replacement” “colonization” and “exiled in your own country” more than once.
    I think he’s the most obvious wannabe fascist France has ever seen.

    European friends, if you’re worried, you should also know that Zemmour is backed by the most viewed news channel in France. They talk 24/7 about him and how great he is. I don’t think he’ll win but he’s in a far better spot than Le Pen ever was, while being as dangerous as her.

    Edit : Here is the [ clip](https://youtu.be/k8IGBDK1BH8) if some of you are curious.

  3. Zemmours ideas are fundamentally incompatible with the french constitution and the legal principals of the enlightenment.
    Followed to their logical conclusion they would result at best in civil war.
    More likely in bloodshed, ethnic cleansing and the end of free democracy.
    Men like him remind us that “never again” is not just a hollow phrase, but a duty that must be fullfilled.

  4. Hey, so genuine question here: what is his actual platform?

    I understand that he is a polarizing figure, but please no replies that “his platform is to be racist” or “his platform it is to make France better.”

  5. Do we have a picture of madame Le Pen in the moment the candidacy was announced? I bet she is thrilled by the prospect of getting in third place lol

  6. I’m split between upvoting because I heard the news from here, and downvoting because *I heard the news here.*

    Yeah, it was inevitable. But still. Having him in the second round would be very cursed.
