Eric Zemmour initially wanted to "
calm things down a bit
".
Invited to the microphone of Jean-Jacques Bourdin on BFMTV / RMC Tuesday, December 7, the now presidential candidate returned to the violence that punctuated his meeting in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis), organized last Sunday.
"
I obviously condemn all violence
", he declared, before calling for "

While an intervention by activists "SOS Racism" quickly degenerated during the speech of Eric Zemmour, the former polemicist considered that they had "
nothing to do there
".
“
There are people who come to be provocative.
They know very well that they are going to piss off the people who are there.
They do it for that.
And they do it so that the media say 'oulala they are wicked'
”, he lambasted, calling the activists“
truffle dogs of subsidies
”.
"The media have a responsibility"
Faced with this event, the candidate said he was "
the privileged target of the system
".
"
No candidate is treated like me
", he denounced, again targeting "
the media
", already booed at the rally on Sunday.
"
The media have a responsibility
", argued Éric Zemmour: "
Stop being the complacent relays of these provocateurs
".
According to the polemicist, it is therefore indeed a "
system
" organized against him.
"
They insult me, they curse me, they call me all names, fascist, Nazi, racist ... Who is treated like that?
Nobody,
”he denounced.

Himself a long time journalist, Eric Zemmour assured not to "
deny
".
“
Precisely, I know how the media works from the inside.
And I know how, in journalism schools, young journalists are brainwashed by what I call the
Mediapart
ideology
.
(...) I learned from contact with left-wing journalists, and I know how they work, how they distort, how they attack, how they lynch, how they curse people in their face
”, he unrolled.
