During a debate entitled: "Isolated minors, a French naivety", Eric Zemmour pleaded for "a policy of firmness".

According to the polemicist, "these young people, all of them, must stop coming, because they have nothing to do here".

And to hammer: "They are thieves, they are murderers, they are rapists. That's all they are. They must be sent back, they must not even come".

And to achieve this goal, Eric Zemmour believes that France should be ready to leave the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

"You, you think of children," he told reporter Christine Kelly.

"Me, I think of the women who are raped by these people, of the men who are murdered by these people, of the French who are brutalized and traumatized by these kids. You have to think of the French above all." 

Zemmour "persists in xenophobia"

These remarks obviously aroused a lively controversy, including within the presidential majority.

Christophe Castaner, the former Minister of the Interior and new president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, castigated "shameful nonsense and amalgamations", while Elisabeth Moreno, Minister delegate in charge of Equality between women and men of Diversity, and Equal Opportunities, asked the Interministerial Delegation for the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBT hatred (Dilcrah) to seize the public prosecutor.

Same unanimous condemnations on the side of anti-racist associations.

The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra) writes that Eric Zemmour "persists in xenophobia", and that justice "will have to pass on his calls for hatred".

Finally, Dominique Sopo, president of SOS Racisme, announced that the association had seized the CSA and lodged a complaint "against this racist repeat offender that we had condemned five days ago".

The journalist from

was indeed sentenced Friday to a fine of 10,000 euros for insult and incitement to hatred, after his diatribe on Islam and immigration in September 2019 during the "convention of the right" organized by close to Marion Maréchal.
