This episode comes on top of the difficulties encountered by Éric Zemmour at the end of his pre-campaign, which began with a conference tour resembling meetings and a survey boom which now seems to be marking time.
In addition to polls that stagnate or fall (12% and 17% in the first round), rooms that have refused it as in London or Geneva, and a fragile organization criticized internally, the polemicist has failed to win. in his travels.
Last Friday, he got off the train in Aix-en-Provence instead of Marseille where demonstrators were waiting for him. In the afternoon, he strolled for less than 15 minutes, in the Panier district, under the cries of demonstrators: “Zemmour break, anti-racist Marseille”. His stroll on the Old Port on Saturday was canceled.
Another setback, the polemicist lost this week the support of financier Charles Gave. “He’s never been on the team“, Eric Zemmour defended on Friday. As for his friend Philippe de Villiers, he will not come to the Zenith in Paris on December 5 for his first campaign meeting.”He’s a friend who doesn’t keep his word“, lamented the polemicist.
This week, Eric Zemmour and his advisor Sarah Knafo demanded a ban on the sale of the magazine Close, because of an article that violates their privacy and their image rights. In vain. They have now decided to file a complaint.
