This Thursday, January 20, Éric Zemmour was tried on appeal for contesting a crime against humanity. According to information from L’Express, the presidential candidate was contacted by François Fillon, who warned him about the upcoming presidential campaign.
Although he has disappeared from the media landscape since his conviction for suspicions of fictitious jobs involving his wife Penelope, Francois Fillon never stays far from politics. Indeed, according to information from The Express, the former presidential candidate would have contacted Eric Zemmour to warn him about the campaign which will be held until the first round of the election scheduled for April. The former editorialist would have received a call from François Fillon to try to warn him: “They will attack you from all sides, they will do to you what they did to me.” Contacted by our colleagues, the former Prime Minister “did not respond”.
After being sentenced for incitement to racial hatred, Éric Zemmour was tried on appeal for for a crime against humanity, after claiming on CNews in 2019 that Marshal Philippe Pétain had “Safe“French Jews during the Second World War. As L’Express pointed out, a penalty of 10,000, “which can turn into imprisonment in case of non-payment”, was requested against the candidate of the “Reconquest” party.
Éric Zemmour: “The judges have already stolen the election from François Fillon. They want to start again”
It is not known if Éric Zemmour had also been contacted by François Fillon at that time, but in a message posted on Twitter this Wednesday, January 19, the polemicist lamented having to be tried during the presidential campaign. “I find it abnormal that presidential candidates are judged in the middle of the campaign. The judges have already stolen the election from François Fillon and right-wing voters. They want to start again, he wrote.
