A series of conferences resembling meetings

The website "croiseedeschemins-ez" was used by Éric Zemmour to announce the series of conferences - in the form of meetings - that he has been holding since the start of the school year around the promotion of his latest book, "France did not say its last word". Two sources close to Eric Zemmour have told AFP in recent days of the project of a presidential "first campaign meeting", evoking the Zenith in Paris and the date of December 5.

According to one of these sources, the announcement of Eric Zemmour's probable candidacy would take place not during the meeting, but before it.

After a meteoric breakthrough in the polls at the start of the school year, punctuated by a series of conferences and media appearances, the far-right essayist seems to encounter first difficulties with polls that stagnate, rooms that refuse it and an organization fragile that arouses criticism internally.
