The far-right polemist spoke in front of 3,700 people, Monday, at the Paris Congress Palace. If he says “more very far” to declare himself, his hesitation cleverly staged allows him for the moment to escape the imperatives of a classic campaign.

Eric Zemmour welcomes the ovation the two arms raised. Michel Onfray waits, arms crossed. The cries of “Zemmour President” fill the Palais des Congrès de Paris, in the evening of Monday, October 4th.
If the folk philosopher and founder, review for “sovereignists of both banks”, organized this “conversation” to the show, most of the 3,700 spectators came to see Eric Zemmour, applauding each of its diatribes against “essence theocratic Islam” or the “nomads from southern Mediterranean”.
One comes from the right, the other of the left, but the two men agree in 2021 on the main lines: the country would be in civil war, civilization would threaten to collapse, France should Get closer to Russia in a “great Europe” going from the Atlantic to the Urals. This meeting illustrates what the sociologist Philippe Corcuff describes as a “scrambling political boundaries”. “The confusionism of onfray, which tinkers from the far right to the radical left, supports the ultragonservatism of Zemmour, which mixes xenophobia, sexism and homophobia in a nationalist frame”, thus believes the author of the Great confusion. How the extreme right wins the battle of ideas (textual, 672 pages, 26 euros, March 2021).
Confusion is one of the foundations of this preamp. Putative and undeclared candidate for 2022, Eric Zemmour claims an independence of intellectual to feed his identity as a “non-professional policy”. “He scraps the borders, he has several facets, decrypts Philippe Corcuff. It appears uncorvised by the policy, which appeals to the left antisystem. He benefits from his status as an editorialist in Figaro and an inertia of image, despite its radicalization, to speak to the right. Its bow is very wide. It reconfigures the political space. “
” I will not stand to miss “
The partisan landmarks are scrambled, despite a fairly homogeneous sociology. “Zemmour is somewhere between the right and the extreme right”, “said Marion, former 25-year-old, inhabitant of the 16 e Arrondissement of Paris and employee of a Champagne house, which” Love that he advocates the conservative values of traditional France “. Enguerrand, 18, of a family where “we voted Marine Le Pen by spite”, locates the polemicist “just right”. Zemmour claimed, later: “he remains a line that has not been mourning from France and who does not want the country Islamization. I am the spokesman for this France.”
