Zemmour Confirms 2027 Presidential Run

Overview

• Zemmour publicly said he will run for president during a televised interview on Thursday, confirming he intends to lead Reconquête’s ticket in 2027.
• His team says a formal declaration should follow this autumn, most likely in October, but no official filing has yet been made.
• He outlined a hardline 'remigration' program calling for the expulsion of foreigners in prisons, foreign offenders outside prison, undocumented migrants, long-term unemployed people, and those living only on social benefits.
• He proposed that roughly a year of unemployment would trigger expulsion for even legally resident foreigners and cited a 1945 article of the Code des étrangers to justify financial-burden expulsions.
• Zemmour praised recent advances in artificial intelligence as a reason to replace immigrant labor, a stance that raises immediate legal and human-rights questions and could shape debate over enforcement and EU law challenges.
