The son of an Algerian Jewish immigrant.. Zemmour, the presidential candidate in France, pledges to displace immigrants
Far-right candidate for the French presidential elections, Eric Zemmour, said that if he wins the elections, he will create a "Ministry of Immigration Reversal", tasked with expelling "undesirable aliens".
In his interview with French media on Monday, Zemmour said that the ministry "will have the necessary means and charters to conduct group (deportation) trips."
He stressed that he will expel "perpetrators of misdemeanors and criminals, and all the people we no longer want," noting that he intends to visit Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia "to discuss the possibility of organizing this matter" with the leaders of these countries.
Zemmour based his speech on the rejection of immigration and Islam, and called his supporters during his election campaign to "change the course of history" and move towards "reclaiming" France.
Zemmour also promised during previous gatherings to end immigration, cancel the right to family reunification and resort to expelling irregular migrants, and abolish social and medical assistance for non-European foreigners.
And Eric Zemmour, 63, was born on August 31, 1958 in Montreuil, a French city located east of the capital, Paris.
He comes from a Jewish family from Algeria, is a French writer and political journalist, and is the son of an old journalist in the conservative daily newspaper "Le Figaro", according to what was published by the German Tagesschau website.
He is also a television personality who appeared on a number of television programs, including On n'est pas couché on France 2 between 2006 and 2011, and Ça se dispute on i-Télé. Zemmour has been repeatedly criticized for his racist comments, and has been accused of "anti-Semitism".
