Between Eric Zemmour and elites, a strange benevolence

Directed by the right and many intellectuals, invited by the media and certain economic circles, the far-right polemist could, this fall, measure the indulgence of a part of the establishment. Back on a “Zemmour moment”.

Eric Zemmour therefore “pressed the button”, according to his formula: he declared himself a candidate for the presidential election of 2022, Tuesday, November 30, in a video posted on YouTube. Solennel, in a tailor-made black suit and silk tie, he denounces in turn “the powerful, elites, well-thinking, journalists, politicians, academics, sociologists, trade unionists, religious authorities”. The outcome of a recamp of three months high in controversy and who, before being disturbed by a finger of honor, has turned the head of some of the political, economic, media elites.

In an autumn, the establishment has left a man who defends the racist theory of the “big replacement”, agitated the spectrum of the “civil war” and multiplies the sexist and homophobic provocations to impose himself as a credible candidate at the Presidential of April 2022. How does a polemist with a judicial residence so busy and holding revisionist remarks have been respected in France of 2022?

A few days ago, Thursday, November 18, while the British of the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London annulled his coming, Eric Zemmour has lunch in front of 240 entrepreneurs, with two stone jets of the Elysée . Often presented as a “historian”, an “intellectual”, it is received in the saint of the French Establishment, the circle of the union interralled, this Parisian club which, two years ago, had rejected him his enthronement. Double symbol.

“too cleiring”

You must always pay attention to ties, especially when those who carry it conspuate the elites. “Proclained antisystem”, Eric Zemmour has always dreamed of being part of one of these private Parisian clubs where traditions, influence and money mingle, and where this accessory remains mandatory. He also likes to attend their beautiful pool. “It’s not me who invited, and I did not have to prevent him from bringing him back,” the President of the Circle, Denis de Kergorlay justified. Zemmour has been invoiced by the highly media Sophie de Menthon, well known to the world of the company, member of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council and President of a circle of small entrepreneurs named Ethic. “As Soon Montebourg and Mélenchon, under an exclusively economic prism,” she says. The journalist has signed his book after lunch. Beautiful revenge. In 2019, although sponsored by the Ambassador of Russia in France, Alexandre Orlov, and by one of his confreres of Figaro, the essayist had failed to become a member of the interall. Reason invoked? “Too cleiring.”
