Éric Justin Léon Zemmour (born 31 August 1958) is a French writer and political journalist.
His anti-liberal and anti-immigration positions, as well as the numerous controversies he has been involved in, are notorious in his homeland.
With the publication of The French Suicide (Le Suicide français) in 2014, a book for which he was awarded the Prix Combourg-Chateaubriand the following year, he gained popularity outside of France.
He also received the Prix Richelieu in 2011 for the whole of his career as a journalist. Born in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, he studied at Sciences Po.
He was hired by Le Quotidien de Paris in 1986, before working as a reporter for Le Figaro from 1996 until 2009 and has since had a column in Le Figaro Magazine.
Zemmour has also appeared as a television personality on shows such as On n'est pas couché on France 2 (2006–2011) and Ça se dispute on i>TÉLÉ (2003–2014); since 2011, he has hosted Zemmour et Naulleau, a weekly evening talk show on Paris Première, together with Éric Naulleau.
He has also appeared as a radio personality on Z comme Zemmour (nowadays On n'est pas forcément d'accord), on RTL since 2010.
