The disastrous campaign of Eric Zemmour has visibly just made collateral damage. The director of the editorial staff and co -founder of the very right -handed Revue l’Inlunct, Jacques de Guillebon, is on the way to being demoted by his shareholder, Laurent Meeschaert, confirming information from the letter A. This is the position taken by the Journal deemed too severe with regard to the ex-far-right candidate who is behind this dismissal. “For six months, we tried to find a modus vivendi on the line to hold. All we wanted is to do journalism,” says Jacques de Guillebon, who will give up his number one to his current Number two, Arthur de Watrigant, in September.
Support by Eric Zemmour since the end of 2021, and unhappy candidate for the legislative elections under the colors of reconquest !, Laurent Meeschaert, owner of 87 % of the newspaper, denies any cause and effect. “I make the difference between my commitment and journalists,” he promises, recognizing “differences of view with Jacques de Guillebon on the political level”, but denying having wished to dismiss him, as we whisper. “I respect Jacques, because it is the DNA of the newspaper”, explains this patron of the right, who also admits having asked its writing to work on “the union of the lines, so that there can be Collaborations between the different currents “.

A vitriol article published in December 2021 and entitled “Announced crash of the EZ 2022 flight for the Elysée” would have set fire to the powder. He describes by the menu the unpreparedness of Eric Zemmour, a man “walled up in his certainties”, Auto -Centéré, prisoner of an entourage deemed incompetent. “Some members of the entourage of Eric Zemmour said to Laurent Meeschaert that they were unhappy,” said the future ex-director. Arthur de Watrigant also admits that the shareholder found the article “raw in form”, but he also assures that, as in a “friendship relationship, we explain and, after a bottle, c ‘is finished “. Since the start, Jacques de Guillebon, Catholic royalist, admirer of Viktor Orban, does not believe in the candidacy of the former journalist of Figaro. He even advised against Marion Maréchal, of whom he is close, to engage by his side. Moreover, since the rallying of the niece of Marine Le Pen to the founder of reconquest !, Relations with the editorial director would have distended.
From September, Jacques de Guillebon will take the title of advisor responsible for the development of the title “on digital and in the intellectual field”, explains Arthur de Watrigant. The discreet monthly, broadcast at 15,000 copies and employing seven full -time employees, not counting the freelancers, has never earned money since its creation, in 2017, forcing Laurent Meeschaert every year to bail out the boxes.
