Zemmour does not want yesterday’s Algeria to be the France of tomorrow where Jews are kidnapped and tortured by the decolonized.
“With Eric Zemmour, France would have its first president of Algerian origin. He has the genealogy, the history but also the tics: Zemmour is of Homeric, Mediterranean, Arab, Jewish and French audacity. Zemmour is the French unconscious, the great occult substitute, the paradoxical decolonial reparation, the memory returned in disguise. The theatrical representation of the martyr.” So writes the Algerian novelist Kamel Daoud in Le Point.
In the analysis of the cyclone Eric Zemmour, the right-wing independent essayist candidate in the next presidential elections of 2022, no one has dwelled on what is perhaps the most important aspect of his history. He is called “fascist” and “racist”, forgetting that Zemmour’s is the story of an Algerian Jew.
