Far-right polemicist Éric Zemmour has announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, promising a drastic reduction in immigration and the expulsion of unemployed foreigners, even if they legally reside in France. Zemmour, who finished fourth in the 2022 presidential election, aims to reduce the number of immigrants by 2 million by the end of the five-year term. He plans to expel foreigners convicted of prison sentences and unemployed foreign job seekers who have been unemployed for more than six months, regardless of their residency status. His candidacy puts him in competition with Marine Le Pen of the National Rally, who is widely considered the favorite to win the 2027 election.
