After long weeks of unofficial election campaign, French-Jewish journalist and writer Eric Zamor, who is affiliated with the French nationalist right and referred to by his rivals as "French Trump", today announced his official candidacy in the French presidential race.
Zamor said during his announcement: "For a long time now the French have a feeling that your country is being taken from you, that you are walking the streets not your own, speaking to you in a foreign language, you feel in a country you no longer know. That you appreciate and disappear. "
"You did not leave your country but she left you. You are in internal exile. Father time you were afraid to say what you see or see what you see. In you, politicians, journalists, academics, church people. You understand that they are the ones who do you harm. "All our problems but it exacerbates them. The transformation of France into a third world country. We need to recapture our sovereignty conquered by technocrats."
"For decades, right and left leaders have put us on the path of disintegration. You have known me for years and know my positions. I have no confidence in politicians, as yours does not, and I have decided to take responsibility. Macron is the successor of all his predecessors. It is time to save France. I decided to run for president, "said Zamor.
Zamor referred to the future and said: "So that our children do not experience barbarism, but that we can preserve our traditions, so that the French remain French, proud of their past and confident of their future. France of the French. They will tell you that you are racists "We have a task to complete. The French people raise their heads, take off their masks and expel the evil shepherds. Join me, we French have always won everything."
"Silence the twig"
Four and a half months before the first round of voting in the presidential election, Zamor chose an unconventional way to announce his candidacy for the presidency: in a message to the French broadcast on the channel there were his official improvements and on social media.
Tonight, Zamor will give an interview to tonight's newscast of France's leading television station, TF1.
On Sunday, Zamor will hold his first election conference in Paris, which is expected to be attended by thousands of his fans.

The announcement of the participation in the presidential race follows a series of events that clouded Zamor's chances to qualify for the second, decisive round of voting in the presidential election: After watching opinion polls about a month ago. There is a growing decline in public support for it. Over the weekend, it was revealed that the 63-year-old Zamor, married and a father of three, became pregnant with his close adviser, 28-year-old Sarah Knapo, who is expected to give birth near the time of the presidential election. Over the weekend, Zamor visited the southern port city of Marseille, where a large immigrant population lives and about a third of its residents are currently Muslims. Zamor's visit was accompanied by demonstrations against stormy anti-fascist activists and local residents. At the end of the stormy visit - during which Zamor secretly visited the troubled neighborhoods of Marseille, which are a hotbed of drug trafficking, and met with local police - Zamor was photographed pointing a triple finger at a local who had previously made a similar gesture towards him.The photo provoked a media storm that forced Zamor to take an "unelegant" action on his part.
Zamor, a successful journalist, publicist and writer who has become a hugely popular TV star due to his critical views on Islam, mass immigration to France, the EU and the left, has previously been convicted by a French court on racial discrimination charges and faces several lawsuits for racism and hatred. Zamor, a member of an Algerian Jewish family, has angered Jewish community leaders in recent weeks after questioning Colonel Alfred Dreyfus was prosecuted for his Jewishness, claiming that Vichy regime leaders worked during the Holocaust to rescue French Jews and handing over only foreign Jews to the Nazis. The victims of the 2012 attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse in Israel are a sign of disloyalty to France. The Chief Rabbi of France, Chaim Corsier, declared that Zamor was an anti-Semite and a revisionist. The president of the representative council of the Jewish institutions in France, Francis Califa, called on the Jews of France not to give the singer even one vote in the presidential election. Yet,Among the Jewish community in France, Zamor enjoys great support because of his clear stances against Muslim immigration to France and its growing impact on life expectancy in the country.
The announcement of Zamor's candidacy is causing a great deal of uproar among the French right-wing camp: the Conservative Party is set to decide next weekend who will be or will be a candidate for the presidential race.
The leader of the nationalist right, Marin Le Pen, who Zamor claims to have abandoned her traditional positions to try and get closer to the political center, called earlier this week to give up his candidacy and join forces with her to defeat Macron.
La Pen was until recently considered the safe candidate of the French right-wing camp to face Macron.
