Eric Zemmour expelled from a football hall by the brother of Zinédine Zidane, near Marseille

It is a misadventure in the final stretch of this presidential campaign for Eric Zemmour. The far-right candidate, who was traveling to Marseille on Saturday April 2, was expelled from a field at the Zidane Five Club, a football complex located in Aix-en-Provence, by Nourredine Zidane, one of the brothers of the 1998 world champion.

Eric Zemmour’s teams had reserved two football pitches by paying twice 160 euros, for two hours, as France Télévisions learned. However, the camp of the former polemicist had not warned the managers of the places that this sporting moment came to close the Marseille sequence of Eric Zemmour.

The candidate and several activists arrived on the pitch and played for about ten minutes, before Nourredine Zidane intervened with two other people from the club, denouncing a recovery. They then demanded the departure of Eric Zemmour and his activists, as well as the press. The atmosphere was a little tense: Eric Zemmour’s security guards intervened so that the candidate could leave calmly.

On the train taking them back to Paris, those very close to Eric Zemmour denounced the behavior of club officials who expelled the candidate from the club.
