Éric Zemmour is called to appear, Wednesday, November 17, at the Paris Criminal Court, for his comments on unaccompanied minor migrants, held in 2020. “Eric Zemmour should not appear at the hearing, officially so that the court does not turn into a television studio. His lawyer will therefore find himself alone facing the 37 civil parties, made up of anti-racism associations, but also of a twenty departmental councils. They are the ones who ensure the management of unaccompanied minors “, specifies journalist Chloé Barbaux, live from the Paris Criminal Court.

In 2020, on the CNews set, Eric Zemmour described these unaccompanied minors as “thieves, murderers and rapists”. For these remarks, the polemicist is being prosecuted for “racist insults and incitement to hatred”. “His lawyer intends to defend him with an argument: he only rephrased the concerns of the authorities on the delinquency of unaccompanied minors”, details Chloé Barbaux. The positions taken by the potential candidate for the 2022 presidential election have already earned him some fifteen prosecutions and two convictions for “incitement to hatred”.
