Éric Zemmour

Eric Zemmour is someone I read as a figure who blurred the line between journalist and politician, which I always find risky. He spent years as an essayist and pundit, anchoring a daily show on CNews, before turning that media platform into a 2022 French presidential run where he finished fourth in the first round. To me that fourth-place result is the real story: a commentator converting airtime into a genuine political base. His far-right positioning makes him polarizing, and his book The French Suicide signals exactly the kind of declinist argument that defines him. Whatever you think of his views, his pivot from columnist to candidate was striking.
