Eric Zemmour was the guest of Yves Calvi’s morning show on RTL on December 15, 2021. A radio station that he knows well for having worked there from 2010 until 2019, having been dismissed following his incitement to religious hatred. On the set, he was able to present his ideas, answer questions from Alba Ventura and François Lenglet and laugh at the jokes of comedian Philipe Caverivière. In this relatively serene atmosphere compared to other of his experiences as on France 2 in Elysee 2022, the candidate for the presidency of the Republic answered questions about his private life and his relationship with his advisor Sarah Knafo.
Yves Calvi puts his questions bluntly to Eric Zemmour: “Your privacy has been very much exposed in this campaign. Will your partner Mrs. Knafo live with you at the Elysee if you are elected?“Eric Zemmour, who lodged a complaint against the magazine Close last month for invasion of his privacy, responds at first: “So that, I am not answering personal questions. My private life is mine.“
Except that the radio presenter does not want to stop there and insists: “The French do not have the right to be informed?“The leader of the Reconquest! Party then details his position: “The French will know when the day comes. I hate this Americanization of political life. I have often condemned it for the predecessors. We are not in the United States. We are not choosing a couple, we are choosing a man. So, the president, the candidate, it’s me. Everything else, I am married, I have children, I have my private life which concerns only me. And the French do not care. I refuse to answer these questions. “Contradicting Yves Calvi, the author of France has not said its last word believes that the French are interested in what he says for France: “My private life, they don’t care and they are right. “
During his first meeting as an official candidate for the presidential elections, his three children, Hugo (born in 1997), Thibault (born in 1998) and Clarisse (born in 2004), and their mother the lawyer Mylène Chichportich were present . His wife, described as a strong woman by their mutual friend Isabelle Balkany, remained in the shadows during this political event. In addition, its campaign director and enarque Sarah Knafo had the right to a spotlight with a standing ovation of the room.
