To glorify France, which he claims to restore, Eric Zemmour has therefore included in his message a scene of Things of life, drama of 1969 with Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider. Like Barbara, the son of the director who died in 2000 refuses to use his father’s masterpiece without the consent of his heirs and above all, he refuses that his name be associated with the campaign of this man.
This is the approach made by Bernard Serf, nephew of singer Barbara. “I have just discovered with amazement that Barbara is used as a guarantee in the clip of a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic whose name I refuse to mention. Is it necessary to specify that this appropriation as revolting as scandalous, when one knows the work and the humanist commitments of the artist, was made without the agreement of the family of the person concerned?“, he confided in Telerama.
Same anger for Laeticia Hallyday, Johnny’s last wife. In a statement, she wrote: “By his clip of candidacy, Mr. Eric Zemmour tries a diversion of the image of Johnny for the benefit of his propaganda. This fault is not only reprehensible because no authorization has been requested and therefore granted. It constitutes a usurpation and the demonstration of the disrespect of its author towards the symbol that Johnny embodies, and towards all those who authentically carry Johnny in their memory.. ” Not in my name, would say the English speakers.
Asked about the 20 hours of TF1 set by Gilles Bouleau, Eric Zemmour, very annoyed by the presenter’s questions, said that these accusations of misappropriation of images were “legal disputes“, implying that he would let his lawyers take care of it. He is expected on December 5 for a meeting, not at the Zénith in Paris but in Villepinte in Seine-Saint-Denis. A change of rooms due to a large number of places reserved according to the reactionary polemicist.
