Éric Zemmour, president of the far-right Reconquête! party, promises "two million fewer immigrants by the end of the five-year term" if he is elected in the French presidential election this spring. He said so on Tuesday evening on TF1, while officially announcing his candidacy, according to Seneweb.
To achieve this, he notably wants to expel "foreigners who have been unemployed for more than six months", even if they are in a regular situation, a harder line than his previous proposals. He says he wants to "stop" the "decline" and "keep a French France".
Éric Zemmour came fourth in the first round of the 2022 presidential election, with 7.07% of the vote. Around thirty candidates have already declared themselves for next spring’s election.
His declaration of candidacy was confirmed on Tuesday 10 November. The day before, the judoka Teddy Riner had announced his own candidacy.
