Éric Zemmour formalizes his candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic

After weeks of continued vagueness, the polemicist has chosen a new form, a ten-minute video with nostalgic accents. He exalts a France of the past, from Notre-Dame to Brigitte Bardot, playing on words, images, music. He does not hesitate to present himself as the savior of France. A dramatic tone, accentuated by Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. Speech on a France which would be in decline, weakened by immigration.

Eric Zemmour, behind a microphone, is reminiscent of the appeal of June 18 of General de Gaulle, savior of France. According to Mariette Darrigant, semiologist, specialist in media discourse, the candidate would appear above all as a prophet. “[…] This is why he is not a warrior like De Gaulle. “ A speech which is addressed first of all to the electorate that it wants to conquer, already acquired with the anti-immigration theses. Once again, there are no concrete proposals on purchasing power, ecology, employment or the reindustrialization of France.
