Investigation focuses on political propaganda

An investigation broadcast on Thursday, October 22, on France 2, examines various aspects of political propaganda and features a detailed look at Éric Zemmour, the president of the Reconquête party and a far-right candidate in the 2022 presidential election. The report explores how political messaging is crafted and disseminated in contemporary French politics.

Zemmour's political return in 2026

The report highlights Zemmour's political return in Port-Marly on September 13, 2026, noting that he has not yet officially declared his candidacy for the 2027 presidential campaign. This timing suggests he is still in the early stages of planning his political comeback.

Zemmour's comments on campaign strategy

Zemmour stated on September 17 on BFMTV that he would be in the race for the 2027 election, but he has not yet launched his campaign. He also mentioned seeking less visibility at the beginning of autumn than his partner, Sarah Knafo, indicating a strategic choice to avoid overshadowing her efforts.

Role of Sarah Knafo questioned

When questioned by the journalists of Complément d'enquête about the prominent role of his former shadow advisor, Sarah Knafo, in the media and on the ground, Zemmour described her as his "best asset." This statement underscores her importance in his political strategy.

Investigation leaves questions unanswered

The investigation raises questions about the role Sarah Knafo intends to play in the 2027 campaign but does not fully address them, leaving some aspects of her influence and responsibilities in Zemmour's campaign unclear.
