(Dec. 23, 2021) — Contemporary France is a divided and troubled country.
Like the United States and other Western countries, France faces an existential crisis brought on by mass immigration, multiculturalism, globalism, and leaders who can’t or won’t stop it.
France has been the scene of various Islamic terror attacks. There was the 2015 Paris attack (killing 130), the 2016 Nice truck ramming (killing 86), and many smaller ones continuing to the present.
The banlieues of French metropolitan areas are home to low-income suburbs inhabited by residents of non-French origin. Such neighborhoods are notorious for crime and rioting and are considered ‘no-go’ areas for outsiders.
This past April, a group of concerned retired French military officers (including generals) wrote a joint letter to the government warning of possible civil war.
The next French presidential election, scheduled for April, pits incumbent President Macron against various challengers.
One of these challengers is Eric Zemmour, a TV pundit. It’s as if Tucker Carlson was running for U.S. president.
Eric Zemmour wants to end mass immigration (legal and illegal) to France, which currently takes in about 200,000 immigrants a year. He’s been called the “French Trump.”
Zemmour favors integration and not diversity. Immigrants who do enter France must assimilate.
Eric Zemmour himself is an example of such integration. He is not of native French origin, but an ethnic Jew whose parents immigrated to France from Algeria. Nevertheless, Zemmour identifies strongly with the historical French nation and wishes to preserve it.
