Yellow Vest Activist Launches Petition to Ban Controversial Pundit Éric Zemmour from Media

"Éric Zemmour, xenophobe, must be banned from the media!" This is how the new petition launched against the writer by the Yellow Vest Priscillia Ludosky can be summarized. She denounces the fact that "the audience is more important than defending human rights." This resident of Savigny-le-Temple has, in an editorial, denounced "a brainwashing that is setting in and ends up seizing the most vulnerable minds" in the midst of the debate around police violence.

"We live in a country where we accept that a ’man’ says that it is normal to kill a person in view of his alleged criminal record, his life path, his past mistakes. We live in a country where we accept that a ’man’ says that it is normal for a young man to succumb to a ventral plaque caused by a police officer in view of his alleged medical history...," writes Priscillia Ludosky following the false statistics communicated by the polemicist on the homicides of Blacks and Whites in the United States.

At a time when the death of African-American George Floyd, by asphyxiation during a fatal police intervention in Minneapolis, is causing outrage in the United States, Éric Zemmour has put forward erroneous statistics on CNews. Hence the annoyance of Priscillia Ludosky. She is surprised that the CSA has not yet banned the editorialist and TV host from the set, even though he had been convicted of racial hatred in 2019.

"Freedom of expression is not incitement to hatred. Racism is punishable, reminds the young woman. Yet it doesn’t stop him from continuing. [...] Admittedly, the statistics he propagated have been corrected but, in the meantime, his xenophobic discourse has spread on social networks."
