Overview
- On November 18, LCI’s La Grande Confrontation staged a head‑to‑head between Raphaël Glucksmann of Place publique and Éric Zemmour of Reconquête.
- Press accounts say Zemmour dominated the floor, advanced Islam‑focused claims, and cited murders with charged language.
- Moderator David Pujadas stepped in on air to halt the shouting after the exchange unraveled.
- Glucksmann framed himself as a patriot of a diverse France and vowed to reclaim the tricolour from Zemmour’s narrative.
- Commentators warned that featuring Zemmour risks legitimising him despite past hate‑speech convictions, as Glucksmann remains a floated 2027 contender who rejects a planned left primary.
