Tuesday, November 30, Eric Zemmour finally announced his candidacy for the next presidential elections in 2022. To make his announcement, the far-right polemicist relayed a campaign clip in which he quotes several personalities. The day after its broadcast, Laeticia Hallyday denounced the “misappropriation” of Johnny’s image. As AFP reported on Wednesday evening, the widow of Taulier is considering prosecution.
“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 was requested and therefore granted. She constitutes a usurpation and the demonstration of the disrespect of its author to the symbol that Johnny embodies, and to all those who authentically carry Johnny in their memory“, indicates the press release from Laeticia Hallyday.
The mother of Jade and Joy Hallyday (17 and 13 years old), specifies having charged her “advice to consider all necessary prosecutions“. An announcement which occurs at the very moment when it is about to commemorate the 4 years of the death of the rocker, on December 5th.
