Éric Zemmour 2027 French presidential candidacy, Digi Mart USA News (France): Éric Zemmour, president of the Reconquête party, confirmed on Tuesday, November 10, that he is a candidate in the French presidential election. He made the statement during an interview on the 20H evening news broadcast of TF1, hosted by Gilles Bouleau.
Zemmour, a 68-year-old former newspaper editorialist, said, “Yes, I confirm to you that I am indeed a candidate in the presidential election.” He also said, “I am running to ensure that France remains French and that our future is French.”
Zemmour had previously said on September 17 that he would be a candidate for the presidency. His entourage, however, said that statement was not a formal declaration of candidacy, which was expected to take place during the autumn.
Zemmour outlined what he described as a “major plan to restore public finances” and to reduce public spending and taxes, which he estimated at €280 billion. He said his program rests on “three major pillars,” the first of which is what he calls “negative immigration.” “I do not want only to control migratory flows; I want there to be fewer immigrants at the end of my five-year term,” he said.
He calculated that there could be two million fewer immigrants by the end of the term.
Zemmour finished fourth in the first round of the 2022 presidential election with 7.07 percent of the vote. The source article was published by TF1info and has not been independently verified.
