Zemmour as a candidate: good news for everyone

Essayist Eric Zemmour is officially a candidate for the presidency of the French Republic. He chose the form of a personal video posted on social networks this Tuesday November 30 at 12:00 to officially announce this, before answering a few questions from Gilles Bouleau on TF1's 20 heures. While the transformation of the editorialist and writer into a politician is rather worrying news, whatever our position on his analyses, it is also very positive. And for everyone, too.

Julien Rochedy: «I criticize traditional conservatism for its lack of courage».»

Thirty-two-year-old Julien Rochedy is a former rising star in French politics. As a member of the Front National, the young Ardéchois achieved his highest responsibilities by becoming Marine Le Pen's political advisor for the 2012 presidential campaign, and then by becoming director of the Front National de la Jeunesse the same year. However, the ideological evolution of Marine Le Pen and the party gradually disgusted him - as he explains in a long-form video posted on his YouTube channel. So, in 2014, Julien Rochedy gave up all political involvement. Today, he is fully committed to metapolitics, where, he says, the aim is to lead the fight on the terrain of ideas. To this end, he publishes books, gives lectures and posts videos on the Internet. It was on the internet, without knowing anything about his political commitment, that I discovered Julien Rochedy before asking him for an interview.

To combat this scourge, it is important to recognize and situate Islamism, a revanchist ideology that is above all political. It must be dissociated from Muslims.

Alain Soral, ’extreme right« and that's it?

Le polémiste condamné pour antisémitisme, désormais poursuivi pour racisme, est-il vraiment le penseur type d’ultra-droite? N’y a-t-il pas aussi un peu de gauche dans son brouet? Des enjeux pour la définition des extrêmes, à l’heure d’un progressisme aux accents parfois totalitaires.
