“I understand what he meant, the expression is not very happy”estimated the first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, this Monday on franceinfo, in reaction to remarks made the day before by Yannick Jadot. “Zemmour, basically, tries to reconcile a part of France with French Algeria, with Pétain, with anti-Semitism, except that he has a difference with Le Pen, and perhaps this is the biggest difference perversely, it is that Zemmour is Jewish, that is to say that in fact; he acts as a service Jew for the anti-Semites”said the environmental candidate for the presidential election on Radio J.
“I don’t think we have to qualify people by their origin, by their religion, etc.”added Olivier Faure, for whom “it is a fact that Éric Zemmour, today, is the one who rehabilitates the thought of Vichy”that“he is the one who dared to say that Marshal Pétain had saved the French Jews by handing over the foreign Jews”. “That alone should make us jump”he said.
Eric Zemmour “is the one who comes to rehabilitate the old rancid thought of the extreme right, and his religion does not change anything”. “The fact that he is of Jewish origin, that he is even Jewish, does not change the fact that he is first and foremost a Pétainist, a Vichyst, a Fascist to put it very simply”he insisted.
