Presidential 2027: Eric Zemmour's candidacy poses "a republican problem," says the president of SOS Racisme, Dominique Sopo

Dominique Sopo, president of SOS Racisme, expressed concerns about Eric Zemmour's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, citing his history of racist remarks and multiple convictions. Sopo argued that such statements could incite violence, referencing a recent racially motivated attack. He advocated for potential disqualifications for candidates with racist convictions, emphasizing the need for political figures to promote social cohesion rather than target marginalized groups. Zemmour, who has been condemned for inciting racial hatred, claims to be a victim of judicial harassment for his opinions. His campaign aims to address what he perceives as France's decline.
